More than 48,000 on-site fiscal controls throughout the territory and in all branches of activity have been carried out by the AADEwith the aim of defending the public interest and securing public revenues.
They were found to have a hidden value of more than 20 million euros and fines of more than 1.34 million euros were imposed.
In addition, in 628 cases the prescribed sanctions were imposed, and more specifically, the operation of 490 businesses was suspended, while in the remaining 138 cases a monetary penalty was imposed.
Through the creation of a pool of experienced inspectors, AADE has strengthened the islands’ existing inspection capacity, focusing inspections both on popular tourist destinations and on sectors of activity with high delinquency rates.
In addition, care was taken so that the levels of control alternated, moving both in mainland and insular Greece. In this way, the controls are mainly carried out by controllers from different territorial jurisdictions.
The auditors have at their disposal a tablet, with the ELEGCHOSlive system installed, through which they have direct access to the complete details of the auditees, facilitating their audit work.
To support the control levels, a special operational team of AADE, making use of the operations room and having special software, scans data throughout the day and selects the areas of intensification of controls.
The results of the risk analysis are also enriched with the data resulting from the comparison of the data of the e-send system with those of POS. More specifically, they are contrasted receiptstransmitted through the e-send system and the proceeds of payments using electronic means.
Finally, control tiers derive information for verification checks from two important tools that have been implemented to reduce tax evasion. These are the Citizen Complaints platform, where complaints or information are submitted, and the Appodixi application.
