In 2019, tax inspections have become more frequent. They began to check citizens who do not have large incomes, but acquire very expensive property - cars, houses, apartments. For the purpose of these inspections, the FTS began to work closely with the traffic police, with banks, with Rosreestr.
Tax inspection control in 2019 is tightened
The tax service has the right to check the owner in order to find out where his income came from. But where does this tightening of control come from? Is it always legitimate? Every citizen should know who and how can check it.
In 2019, in several regions of the country (Tatarstan, Kaluga region, Moscow and Moscow region), a self-employment tax appeared. What it is? If a citizen is engaged in business, then he has the right to pay 4 or 6% of income, without paying additional contributions. And this can be done in a simplified manner. But you must be registered.
One of the tasks of the Federal Tax Service is to "unearth" where a person's income comes from. You need to know that if a citizen is engaged in some kind of activity with additional income, he can afford to buy an expensive one, for example, an apartment or a car. But, if he sits on the same salary and buys the same car or apartment, here the tax office has a great reason to find out about the source of income. That is why inspections have increased this year.
How income verification should be done
A taxpayer should know: if he buys, for example, a car for 5 million rubles, then the tax inspection will most likely call him in order to explain (confirm) where he got the money from for such an expensive purchase. If he cannot do this, then the citizen will have to submit a declaration and pay 13% of the purchase tax. And this will be no less than 650 thousand rubles. At the same time, there is a possibility that the tax office may impose any more fines, penalties, and at the same time will refer to a certain article, which, as a rule, an ordinary citizen does not know about.
Is it possible to protect yourself from tax audits
The question arises: "How to protect yourself from unexpected checks?" Let's say a citizen has been saving up all his life for this ill-fated expensive car or apartment, and then the tax office will come to him. What then? In this case, the person must still have supporting documents proving the origin of this money. If, for example, your grandmother gave you money, then you need to make a donation for this amount. If a citizen borrowed money, sign a loan agreement. If you sold an apartment and bought a more expensive one, then you must also have all the relevant documents.
You have purchased a high-value property. Before going to the Federal Tax Service, read the letter of the Federal Tax Service dated July 25, 2017 No. ED-4-15 / 14490 "On the work of the commission for the legalization of the tax base and the base for insurance premiums." Perhaps this letter will help to prevent the tax inspectorate from illegally "running over" on you.
In the case when a person does not have any opportunity to account for income and he does not want to attract the attention of the tax office to his person, then you should think very well, and it is better to give up very expensive purchases. You decide.
