PWC Reports FSV SME

Another two devastating reports about tax authorities's fraud approach | Economy | NU.nl

Two reports from PwC once again show that the tax authorities made a serious mistake on many fronts in dealing with alleged fraud. For example, during additional checks at 'the gate', the department found incorrectly filled out returns where possible, paid more attention to the personal characteristics of the taxpayer than to tax risks.

“The conclusions of the last two reports are also serious,” says responsible Secretary of State Marnix van Rij (Taxation and Tax Administration) to the House of Representatives about this.

For one of the reports, PwC investigated registrations in the controversial and illegal fraud alert facility (FSV) as a result of gate control. The other focused on the consequences of registering on this “black list” for entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

At 'the gate', thousands of tax returns are manually checked for fraud. A large part of the FSV registrations resulted from this additional check. Analysts from the tax authorities were presented with a “perpetrator profile”, whose exact status, by the way, is not clear. According to that profile, they had to pay particular attention to young men without a fiscal partner, “often of foreign origin”, whose actual income seemed to differ from that in the declaration. Van Rij calls this “reprehensible”.
