Государственная налоговая инспекция (ГНИ) сообщает, что информационные письма в ближайшее время получат почти 260 жителей и 100 компаний, к которым возникли вопросы о реальной цене продажи их автомобилей. Получившим уведомления предлагается оценить продажную цену и, если она не соответствует действительности, указать в налоговой декларации истинную продажную цену автомобиля.
«As a result of analyzing the available data, transactions were identified in which the sale of a car was documentarily confirmed at a significantly below market price. Such a discrepancy in the price of a car may indicate that sellers are trying to hide a portion of their income and avoid paying the due taxes,» said Rolandas Puntsevicius, Senior Counselor in the Control Department of the Tax Inspectorate.
«Underpricing cars to evade taxes is well-known, so residents and businesses who have received a reminder should state the true selling price of the car in their income declaration,» said Puntsevicius, noting that those who sold a car and did not respond to the tax authorities’ notification may receive additional scrutiny.
Some car sellers artificially lower the selling price before removing the car listing from car sales portals, but this type of fraud is well-known to the Tax Inspectorate specialists. To identify cases of cars being sold at a price that does not correspond to its true value, the Tax Inspectorate uses a wide range of available and incoming data. For example, they compare the data obtained from the «Regitra» database with the information contained in car sales ads, track the price history indicated in the ads, and analyze market prices.
In particular, people should be wary if an unscrupulous car dealer asks them to understate the price in official sales documents. Not only do they contribute to tax evasion, but they can also suffer financially. For example, when buying a car worth 10,000 euros, the buyer asks to indicate 5,000 euros in the sales contract. After some time, when the buyer decides to sell the car for 10,000 euros, they will have to pay personal income tax, which is calculated based on the supposedly earned profit — the difference between the paid and received amount (in this case, 5,000 euros).
The Tax Inspectorate reminds residents that if they notice possible tax violations, they can report them to the Tax Inspection helpline at 1882 or by filling out an online form on the website. Anonymity is guaranteed.
