The tax authorities began massively demanding from the banks data on the accounts and transfers of Russians. By law, they have three working days to provide information, but because of the bombardment of requests, banks do not have time and receive fines of 20 thousand rubles for each request. As a result, in January-August they paid 553 million rubles in fines for delays in the transfer of customer information. This is 29 times more than a year earlier, when it was 19 million, Izvestia writes. The Federal Tax Service also fined the banks 33 million rubles for non-compliance with decisions regarding restrictions on account transactions. That's almost five times year over year. In addition, credit institutions paid 19 million rubles for not fulfilling instructions for collecting Russian taxes and businesses on time. It is almost six times less - 3.2 million rubles.
