Imposed Penalties for Not Submitting E-Declaration and Notification of Retrospective Tax Obligations

According to the Communique of Tax Procedure Law No. 449 published in the Official Gazette dated 10.04.2015, irregularity fines for not submitting e-declaration and notification of retrospective tax obligations shall not be imposed anymore.

Due to tax evaluation reports, the application of the liable, or tax office identification, it is possible to open a liability retrospectively. However, for declarations and notifications not submitted online and in time, there is a special irregularity fine. In cases opened against such fines, judicial authorities decided these fines shall not be imposed, which became a permanent decision. In order to solve the problems arising for such cases, the “Financial Administration” made a regulation and stated in communique that there will be no longer irregularity fines imposed.

On the other hand, because there was no declaration made for the liable persons in question, retrospective tax will continue to be levied, tax loss fine will continue to be imposed for taxes not paid in time, and irregularity fines will continue to be imposed for not declaring start of the employment in time by Law No. 325/I-/.

Inconsistencies in Headcount between Tax and SSI Declarations

The headcount reported in monthly SSI premium declarations and in withholding tax returns is subject to cross-check by the state auditors. Therefore, inconsistencies between these declarations pose a risk.

It has been noted that state auditors have been forwarding random audit reports to related SSI Offices and seeking information from companies based on the cross-checked results.

This is a fairly recent practice given that inconsistencies between headcount reports in withholding tax and SSI declarations were not scrutinized before.
