Income which will reach 4 billion euros in the two-year period 2024-2025 is expected by the government from the “business” against tax evasion whose intensity is escalating by all means available to the Audit mechanism.
According to the finance ministry estimates, revenue from tax evasion is expected to reach 2.2 billion euros. If the corresponding revenue of EUR 1-7-1.8 billion in 2024 are added then the total amount of revenue for the two years rises to 3.9-4 billion euros. These significant performances on the front of tax evasion, along with increasing revenue from the strong growth of the economy, are the two sources of funding of new 1.76 billion euros in funding at the TIF. On the basis of this reasoning and the need to boost tax justice, the tax evasion operation will continue at high rates, constituting a critical parameter and priority of economic policy.
These are modern digital tools and successive targeted controls that help disclose taxable materials in AADE excursions and interventions in transactions between taxpayers and authorities based on new technology that has significantly increased tax compliance. Such interventions are, among other things, the “locking” of VAT statements via the Mydata platform, the digital clientele, the expansion of electronic transactions and the mass intersections, the digital shipping note and the electronic pricing for businesses coming in 2026.
The Ministry of Finance and AADE in the past few days have announced the launch of 2-2-2026 of the compulsory e-business electronic pricing. This will first apply to businesses with a high turnover and will then extend to the smaller businesses. The first phase businesses are those with gross revenue of more than € 1 million for the tax year 2023. It should be noted that on a voluntary basis the measure is already applied by companies that have been integrated into the electronic way of invoicing. This is a reform that is expected to help reduce tax evasion through the issuance of counterfeit and virtual tax data. This measure will allow the transmission of pricing data between real -time businesses to the MYDATA platform of AADE. This reform is added to a series of others that have been promoted in recent years and are the powerful “papers” of AADE in the battle for tax evasion.
Among them are:
-The Mydata platform on which business tax information is uploaded and as a result, the determination of VAT on tax authorities is also achieved.
-The digital clientele. It is an electronic customer register for specific sectors of professionals, such as parking lots, the workshops that are being monitored in real time by AADE. This measure is expected to become mandatory for other categories of professions in the coming months.
– The Digital Shipment Release concerning the Digital Traffic Division Division that is required to issue businesses. The document is automatically forwarded to Mydata and thus AADE acquires a picture of all stages of trafficking.
In the meantime, in the context of the extensive intersections carried out by AADE, it has identified taxpayers who had not made statements in previous years or had concealed income. AADE proceeds to send notices to these taxpayers by speeding up the tax determination with priority being the case at the end of 2025
