Citizens who “nailed” cases of tax evasion with “monkey” receipts and falsified cash registers will receive a cash reward of up to 3,000 euros from their mobile phone through the “Appodixi” application.
With the tax audit mechanism having proceeded to check the complaints and impose fines on those found to be evading tax, the commander of the AADE, Giorgos Pitsilis, is expected in the coming days to sign the first decisions with which the citizens who contributed to the fight against tax evasion will be rewarded . The amounts that the taxpayers will receive range from 100 to 3,000 euros and concern branded complaints that resulted in an audit and the imposition of a fine.
Through the “Appodixi” application, 165,149 complaints have reached AADE, of which 74,892 are named and 90,257 are anonymous.
The monetary reward measure for taxpayers who report cases of tax evasion provides for the following:
If, following a named complaint against a business, through AADE’s “QR code appodixi” scanning application related to retail sales information, a tax audit is carried out and a fine is imposed, for violation or falsification or interference with the operation of the cash registers, the complainant receives a monetary reward after a decision of the Governor of AADE. Employees of the AADE, the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, as well as the employees of the Financial Police Directorate of the Ministry of Citizen Protection, who carry out audit duties, are not entitled to the monetary reward.
The monetary reward amounts to ten times the transaction value of the issued retail item, for which the complaint was made, including the corresponding Value Added Tax and in no case shall it be less than 100 euros, nor exceed 3,000 euros. If the complaint concerns several tax items issued by the same company, the monetary reward is calculated on the issued tax item with the highest value.
The prize money does not fall under any category of income and is exempt from any tax, withholding, fee or levy in favor of the State, Social Security Agencies, Legal Entities under Public Law or third parties and is inalienable and non-seizable in the hands of the State or third parties, notwithstanding any other provision, it is not bound and not set off against confirmed debts to the State, public law legal entities, local self-government organizations and their legal entities, insurance funds and credit institutions and is not counted against the income limits for the payment of any social or of a welfare nature.
The decision on the payment of the monetary reward is not posted on the Internet in the “Transparency” Program.
It should be noted that the “Appodixi” application recognizes the QR Code of cash registers that have been upgraded, now including the date and time of the receipt.
