The results of the Independent Public Revenue Authority‘s audits of food service businesses, regarding the issuance of receipts when orders are placed through delivery platforms is truly impressive.
These are checks which:
Are targeted, i.e. the businesses, which are checked, have been selected through the special risk analysis algorithm.
Are carried out with the help of the data, which the Authority constantly receives from the ordering platforms, and which are compared with the retail receipts, which have been issued for the specific orders.
Based on these data, Authority auditors identified 14 catering businesses, which did not cut 449,000 receipts for orders with a total value of 5.15 million euros! In other words, these companies collected from their customers, but did not pay 592,000 euros of VAT to the tax office!
