TIRANA, January 17 /ATA/ Tax Office reported the beginning on January 15 of inspections on the ground aiming at declaration of real wages by profession in the construction sector following publication of the indicative salary list for this sector. The action aims at increase in social security contributions.
The inspections will be carried out mainly in businesses assessed at risk for under declaration of wages, which have been previously notified by the Tax Administration, but have not reflected changes in the payroll, despite the electronic notification sent to their accounts in the tax system, e-Filing.
The focus of the inspections will be the verification of wages declared in the payroll, by comparing them with the indicative salaries by the respective professions, a list transmitted to the electronic accounts of taxpayers, as well as published on the official website of the Tax Administration.
The Tax Administration warned that any taxpayer who declares salaries below the indicative salary level, or who changes the profession of employees in order to avoid the real declaration of salaries, thereby jeopardizing the payment of social contributions and pensions, will be considered at risk and as such will be subject to control by specialized structures of the Tax Administration.
The Tax Administration also called on all taxpayers to take the necessary legal measures for the accurate declaration of employees’ salaries, in order to avoid administrative and legal measures. /j.p/p.s./
