SHOULD YOU BE AFRAID OF TAXPAYERS?

 Entrepreneurs, especially beginners in the process of economic activity face many risks, problems and fears. The biggest of them is the fear of falling into the field of view of the tax authorities (State Tax Service of Ukraine). Therefore, in this article we will find out whether there is a real reason for such fears.

 In general, there are three sources of problems through which the tax can pay attention to you.

Monitoring of bodies and institutions

 From time to time, regulatory authorities begin to mimic the tumultuous activities and take active action to implement the "plans". As part of this monitoring, they choose issues such as shadow wages, unregistered Internet business activities, and so on. If you fit this question, you are likely to come across a test. In-house or on-site it depends on the actual circumstances of the case. You can view the list of business entities included in the inspection schedule by following the link.

 In addition, it is worth remembering that in Ukraine there is a mandatory constant monitoring, in particular by banking institutions. Thus, transactions that exceed a certain amount, are questionable or fall under certain criteria (such as money laundering) are subject to verification. In this case, you will need to provide supporting information to the bank. If in doubt, do not do without regulatory authorities.

Complaint of a dissatisfied customer

 This can be either a real client or a competitor who wants to increase their own financial results by dirty methods. When you start to be complained about in all instances, the authorities are obliged to respond, whether in writing or electronically.

Complaint of your employee

 If you operate illegally, for example, pay salaries without paying taxes, then you give employees leverage for blackmail. If you are unable to agree on certain conditions, the employee can always write a complaint or appeal to the authorities. The tax office will start considering such a situation, and you will have to prove the legality of your business and the absence of the facts stated by the employee. Complaints of employees to the tax authorities and the State Labor Service are very common. When there is a written request or suspicion, the supervisory authorities may interview other employees.

 If you have already come to mind, the tax authorities can see the movement of funds on the account, bank cards, postal and bank transfers, etc. by court order. However, please note that this requires a court order. If you do not get, then no one will even compare the revenue. That is, if you work "transparently", the chances of attracting the attention of the tax is not so much.
