Tax Administration Conducted 284 Inspections and Discovered 84 Undeclared Workers

(Patria) - Inspectors of the Tax Administration of the Federation of BiH conducted 284 inspections on April 17, 2024, in the Federation of BiH, as part of operations covering taxpayers engaged in construction, hospitality, trade, baking, and other service activities. The inspections were carried out to verify the legality of taxpayers' operations.

During the inspections, 84 undeclared workers were discovered, 4 facilities operating without a work permit from the competent authority, 3 taxpayers without an installed fiscal device, and 56 taxpayers who did not record turnover through a fiscal device.

Due to the identified irregularities: employment of undeclared workers, operation without a permit, failure to record turnover through a fiscal device, and the absence of an installed fiscal device, 10 facilities were sealed and 93 misdemeanor orders were issued with a total of 349,500 KM in fines.

In two cases, inspections were 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 have a faster and greater preventive effect.

A sanction that is imposed quickly, even if smaller, has a greater effect than a larger sanction imposed after a long time. Imposing sanctions after several years, and even in an amount 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 correctness of the submitted MIP-1023 forms, and to pay public revenues.

Also, taxpayers who have been notified of an upcoming tax inspection and have not submitted all tax returns are urged to do so as soon as possible.

The Tax Administration invites taxpayers who submit their tax returns electronically to electronically view 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.
