Magazine: Risk analysts pick suspicious receipts

The National Tax and Customs Administration’s (NAV) press office informed Trade magazin that in the days preceding and the days following the 28 February 2014 and the 30 April 2014 online cash register subsidy deadlines a performance drop occurred in various segments of the online cash register system, due to a system overload.

This caused no problems for cash registers already in operation but the ones being installed experienced problems. Ervin Szabó, managing director of Laurel Kft. (the company that operates one third of PC-based cash registers) opines that most problems result from the fact that practically each element of the system is new. There has been no time for tests but the system keeps improving. According to the latest data from NAV, the tax authorities received 415 million receipts and simplified invoices in the value of HUF 670 billion. Risk analyst experts work with these using a state-of-the-art informatics background to pick the ones which are suspicious. Data sent by online cash registers is compared with data contained in data returns and reports. Latest data from NAV’s press office: currently 114,391 online cash registers are operated in Hungary, but it can’t be told how many retailers are still waiting for the cash registers they have ordered.
