The Ministry of Taxes and Duties Inspectorate for the Vitebsk Region informs that during control measures against business entities engaged in passenger transportation by taxi, violations of the established procedure for accepting cash payments continue to be identified.
Thus, over the 10 months of the current year, as a result of the measures taken, 115 administrative proceedings were initiated against unscrupulous drivers, and administrative fines totalling approximately 54.0 thousand rubles were imposed.
We remind you that for this violation, the guilty person is subject to administrative liability under Article 13.14 of the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Offences in the form of a fine of up to thirty basic units.
At the same time, a passenger has the right to refuse to pay for the trip if the transportation service is provided with a faulty, switched off (blocked) taxi software cash register or a cash register combined with a taximeter (except for cases of passenger transportation by taxi ordered and paid for via an electronic information system using only bank payment card details).
Therefore, a passenger has the right NOT TO PAY for the trip in case of a malfunction of the cash register equipment, or when it is switched off, and consequently, there is no possibility to receive a RECEIPT!
