The tax authorities are launching more and more inspections in e-commerce
The number of abuses in internet commerce is not decreasing, so the tax authority is launching more and more inspections in order to curb illegal market practices that cause damage to consumers, honest traders and the budget, said the head of the inspection department of the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV). at his press conference in Budapest on Wednesday.
Gábor Horváth explained: NAV employees constantly monitor online marketplaces and social networking sites, monitoring about 20,000 websites annually.
This year, among other things, the accommodation agency and food delivery platforms, as well as the turnover of excise and tobacco products, mobile phones, tablets, IT devices, jewelry, coffee machines and coffees, as well as their sellers, are particularly monitored, especially if they advertise their products below the market price – indicated the head of department.
Gábor Horváth said: last year, NAV inspectors initiated almost 1,600 test purchases of advertisements selected after assessing the risks, in more than 320 cases they found some kind of violation and imposed HUF 53 million default fines. In addition, during 33 tax audits, in 30 cases, a net tax difference of almost HUF 4 billion was found and tax fines of HUF 1.46 billion were established.
