The Federal Tax Service has begun to check self-employed persons using a robot. We are talking about those who can hide income by canceling checks, the department clarified. Since the beginning of the year, violations have been detected among three thousand professional income tax payers. The total amount of the fines reached 300 million rubles. - on average 100 thousand rubles. for each violator. A red flag was the systematic cancellation of checks over a period of time. Expert opinion: The president of the Association of Freelancers of Russia, Ivan Litvinov, noted that the scoring model should identify suspicious patterns, but not replace a specific condition check. The reason for canceling the check, the initiator of the transaction and the movement of the money must be taken into account. Cancellation in itself should not be seen as evidence of a violation: a conscientious operator should be able to explain the reason for cancellation. The expert also stated that if the test is performed by a robot, in case of discrepancies, a live tester must be involved, the expert concluded.
