The State Tax Service has denied information that the tax authorities have begun to fine sellers from OLX, Promua, social networks and other platforms and automatically track all money transfers to individuals' accounts, UNN reports.
Details
The information spread by a number of media outlets that the tax authorities allegedly started fining sellers from OLX, Promua, social networks and other platforms and automatically tracks all money transfers to individuals' accounts, even if they sell personal belongings online, is not true
The State Tax Service emphasizes:
- the sale of individual property (personal belongings) is not considered a basis for financial or administrative liability for violating the requirements of current tax legislation;
- only systematic sale and at the same time a homogeneous range of goods has signs of entrepreneurial (economic) activity.
This does not apply to:
- sale of individual property (personal belongings) by citizens using electronic trading platforms such as OLX, Prom and any social networks;
- strengthening control over Internet sales is carried out in order to prevent abuse and tax evasion in the field of entrepreneurial activity.
The State Tax Service once again calls on business entities that remain in the "shadow" to bring their activities into compliance with the requirements of the law independently and voluntarily:
- officially register as a business entity;
- make payments through properly registered RRO/PRRO;
- comply with tax legislation to avoid financial and administrative liability in the future.
