Citizens should hurry to settle the open “accounts” they have with the municipalities. From September 1st even an unpaid summons from the Municipal Police for illegal parking will automatically block the issuance of the tax notice.
On Sunday, AADE’s new interoperability service for issuing tax information is activated.
Tax awareness
This means that the tax administration will be informed immediately and digitally if citizens who request tax information have debts to the municipalities and in particular have not paid municipal fees or Municipal Police calls. As long as the municipalities reply to the AADE that there are debts, the issuance of tax information will be automatically blocked.
On the contrary, those who do not have debts or have settled their debts to the municipalities and regions, the tax information will be issued with express procedures. According to AADE, the new functionality facilitates citizens and businesses in their transactions, as it allows the easy and quick release of their tax information.
Single certificate
At the end of September comes the new single certificate of financial awareness for citizens and businesses that have no debt to the tax authorities and insurance funds. The new electronic document that will replace today’s proof of tax and insurance awareness will be issued with a few clicks through a new electronic platform. It will include both tax and insurance information, will be valid for every intended use and will be mandatorily accepted by private and public sector entities, where required by law.
Citizens will submit their application on the new digital platform. After submitting the application, the submitted data will be automatically checked and then, if all the criteria and conditions are met, the financial awareness certificate will be issued, under the same conditions that govern the issuance of the tax and insurance awareness. The issuance of the financial information will “stumble” in the case of unregulated or overdue debts either to the tax office or to the insurance funds, if the relevant conditions are not met for one of the two parties.
What applies to the issuance of tax information
According to the current provisions:
- The taxpayer may request proof of awareness valid for up to 2 months for carrying out transactions and transactions.
- The Tax Administration grants proof of awareness only if the taxpayer has no debts to the Tax Administration for any reason and has submitted the required tax returns for the last 5 years.
- The Tax Administration may not grant a proof of awareness, if the taxpayer has overdue debts to another public sector authority (commitment to grant a proof of awareness), as long as this authority uses interoperability services to inform the Tax Administration of the existence of overdue debts that entail the obligation of awareness, as well as for the settlement of debts, which entail the lifting of the obligation of awareness.
- If the taxpayer has joined a debt settlement program or has outstanding or suspended debts, a certificate of limited validity may be issued, which cannot exceed 1 month. The Tax Administration, even after the debtor’s compliance with a regulation program, obligatorily sets a withholding condition in cases where the proof of awareness is issued for the collection of money or the transfer of real estate or the creation of a real right over it due to compelling reasons. Especially for the transfer of a property or the establishment of a real right on it due to compelling reason, the proof of awareness is issued with a withholding amount of 70% of the price, as long as the price does not fall short of the objective value and up to the amount of overdue regulated debts to the Tax Administration. If there are overdue suspended debts of more than 50,000 euros, a withholding rate of 50% is set on the price, as long as this does not fall short of the objective value and up to the amount of the total suspended debts. If the price falls short of the objective value and the amount of the withholding, calculated on the price, is less than the debts, a certificate of awareness is issued with the calculation of the amount of the withholding on the objective value of the property and on the condition that the amount of the withholding resulting from this calculation does not exceed the price.
