The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation are developing tools to combat tax evasion. The tax service can obtain the right to block the property of debtors promptly - now this is only possible based on the results of a tax audit.
Signs of possible tax evasion will be established according to a certain risk-based approach. “Now, since the start of the tax audit, the evaders have time to sell all the property, withdraw capital and go bankrupt. The initiative is aimed at suppressing this practice, ”explained the Federal Tax Service. Taxpayers, on whom the inspections were carried out, concealed liquid assets for at least 170 billion rubles. for 2 years, the department specified.
It should be noted that at present tax authorities can introduce interim measures on the property of debtors only as a result of an audit or if the taxpayer does not submit reports.
