Monitoring of "low-cost goods"

Control over business entities engaged in the sale of imported goods, so-called "low price segment" goods, is one of the priority areas in the activities of tax authorities.

Violation of the established procedure for accepting cash, sale of goods without documents and identification means – this is an incomplete list of violations identified during operational activities.

Thus, since the beginning of the year, operational units of the Vitebsk region tax inspectorates have identified over 2.0 million rubles of revenue hidden from taxation for this category of taxpayers. Business entities and their sellers have been brought to administrative responsibility for approximately 250.0 thousand rubles, including about 240.0 thousand rubles for violating the established legislation on marking goods with identification means.

In addition, the violators had to pay the taxes due to the budget from the amounts of hidden revenue.

The Vitebsk region tax inspectorate reminds business entities of the need to strictly comply with the legislation in their activities and urges buyers to demand a receipt with every purchase – this will not only help collect the taxes due to the state budget but will also serve as a guarantee in case the purchased goods turn out to be of poor quality.
