Tax Administration of FBiH Conducted 314 Inspections, Discovered 78 Undeclared Workers, and Sealed 60 Premises

(Patria) - Inspectors of the Tax Administration of the Federation of BiH conducted 314 inspections on May 21, 2024, in the Federation of BiH, covering taxpayers engaged in hospitality, trade, construction, bakery, and other service activities. The inspections were carried out to verify the legality of taxpayers' operations.

During the controls, 78 undeclared workers were discovered, 23 premises operating without a work permit from the competent authority, 23 taxpayers without an installed fiscal device, and 84 taxpayers who failed to record turnover through a fiscal device.

Due to identified irregularities: employment of undeclared workers, operating without a permit, failure to record turnover through a fiscal device, and absence of an installed fiscal device, 60 premises were sealed and 185 misdemeanor orders were issued with a total of 383,790.00 KM in fines. In one case, the inspection was completed with the assistance of members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Tax Administration calls on courts to impose sanctions promptly and in the legally prescribed amounts to ensure a faster and greater preventive effect. Sanctions imposed quickly, even if smaller, have a greater effect than larger sanctions imposed after a long time. Imposing sanctions after several years, and even in amounts less than the legal minimum, has little educational effect on taxpayers and compliance with the law. Be a partner of the Tax Administration in respecting tax regulations and reducing the grey economy.

Taxpayers who have not submitted income tax and contribution returns on time are urged to submit them as soon as possible and to check the accuracy of their MIP-1023 forms, and to pay public revenues.

Also, taxpayers who have been notified of an upcoming inspection and have not submitted all tax returns are invited to do so as soon as possible. The Tax Administration invites taxpayers who submit their tax returns electronically to electronically access their synthetic and analytical tax cards and check their liabilities and payments of public revenues for which the Tax Administration of the Federation of BiH is responsible.

By using this service, you will ensure the accuracy of your liabilities and payments, rationalize your business operations, facilitate and speed up communication with the Tax Administration, and enable faster issuance of certificates of paid obligations.
