Sealing the tax system and combating tax crime were among the key electoral promises of the current power. The implementation of these announcements involved the creation of new mechanisms and the equipping of tax authorities with new tools. According to the government's assurances, honest entrepreneurs have nothing to fear, but in practice the war on tax fraud can be severe for all.
According to government projects, banks are expected to transfer customer accounts data to the IT system, which will enable tax authorities to have much more and more real control than currently. In addition, it will be possible to block specific bank accounts.
Another plan is to amend the anti-money laundering and terrorist financing bill. According to the assumptions, if there is any suspicion of the origin of the funds, the prosecution will be informed.
The recently existing rules on the Single Control File in VAT provide tax authorities with much greater possibilities to pre-selection entrepreneurs with start-up tax controls.
A separate issue is increased activity in tax criminal proceedings, where not only financial sanctions are threatened but also criminal liability. Treasury officials have more competence and better opportunities to collect evidence. The aim is to facilitate the access of national tax administration officers to business premises.
