State Tax Service received a new tool for controlling online sales

New tool has been added to the tax control measures. From now on, the State Tax Service will permanently identify citizens and taxpayers who sell products via the Internet and receive money transfers for it.

Since March 1 of this year, the State Tax Service has been receiving information from the RRO Data Accounting system regarding:

- citizens who systematically receive funds into their own accounts for sold products, that is, they are actually involved in the entrepreneurial activity without state registration;

- individuals-entrepreneurs who also receive funds into their accounts, but do not have registered RRO/PRRO, violating requirements regarding the settlement procedure, etc.

State Tax Service is primarily aimed at preventing and deterring violations that may occur among the taxpayers and citizens due to incorrect organization of business transactions, and is not aimed solely at applying financial sanctions (fines).

In the first 20 days of March alone, the State Tax Service identified tens of thousands of taxpayers and citizens who systematically receive funds into their own accounts. In some cases, the number of transfers per person reaches hundreds of transactions, while there is no state registration or use of RRO/PRRO.

State Tax Service calls on citizens and entrepreneurs who sell products via the Internet:

- officially register as a business entity;

- make settlements through duly registered RRO/PRRO;

- comply with tax legislation in order to avoid financial and administrative liability in the future.
