The hidden risks of collecting in black: a notice of the Treasury

Treasury intensifies their surveillance

The Tax Agency has launched a new control campaign to detect workers who, for various reasons, receive a part or the whole of their wage without declaring. This practice, although common in some sectors, has severe legal consequences for those involved.

The cost of lack of transparency

Workers who choose to charge in black not only violate the law, but also in a long -term committed situation. Do not declare revenue may result in a reduction in social security contributions, thus affecting the right to future benefits such as pensions or unemployment aids.

Fines that can hurt

The Treasury has made it clear that sanctions for declaring income may be severe, with fines reaching 150% of the amount not declared. Workers need to be aware that tax authorities are increasingly attentive to any discrepancy.

Types of infringements and sanctions

The Tax Agency classifies the offenses into three categories, each with its own gravity and economic consequences.

Minor offenses

If the non -declared montant is less than 3,000 euros and there is no evidence of intentionality, the sanction can be 50% of the evaded amount.

Serious offenses

In the case of amount of more than 3,000 euros or if a deliberate intention of hiding data is detected, fines can range from 50% to 100% of the amount not declared.

Very serious infractions

Sanctions for significant frauds or by the use of misleading practices can reach up to 150% of the evaded amount, a cost that can be devastating for the employee’s economy.

Treasury detection mechanisms

The Tax Agency has implemented several techniques to identify unrepared income. For example, banks are required to report any cash movement that exceeds 3,000 euros.

Analysis of the standard of living

The Treasury also makes comparison between the standard standards of the taxpayers and the revenue they have stated. A remarkable mismatch can trigger deeper research.

Tips to avoid complications with the Treasury

In order to maintain a regularized tax situation, it is essential to declare all income, regardless of its origin. Entrepreneurship requires the issuance of invoices that prove the income obtained.

Control finance

Bringing a careful record of all transactions, including cash and transfers, is essential. In addition, consulting with a tax advisor can be a great help to ensure that all legal obligations are met.

Although collecting in black may seem like an immediate solution, legal repercussions can be very expensive and harmful in the long term.
