The Treasury and Finance Ministry's Tax Inspection Board (VDK), under the directive of Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek, continues its rigorous efforts to enhance tax fairness and efficiency.
Simsek's commitment to increasing tax equity and reducing the informal economy is clear, as he emphasized on social media: "We will take more taxes from those who earn more. By combating the unregistered economy, we are improving budget financing."
VDK has placed individuals with monthly expenditures exceeding ₺5 million, who have not declared any income, under its inspection.
"Businesses that collect payments via IBAN or mail order methods but evade tax payments are also being scrutinized. We will continue to pursue those who cause tax losses and create unfair competition," Simsek noted.
VDK is also closely monitoring businesses directing customers to pay via IBAN without issuing receipts or invoices.
Initial findings indicate that those facilitating collections via IBAN accounts are often company partners, employees, or close associates of the taxpayers. Investigations into those using alternative collection methods to evade taxes will continue.
Accurate information from those questioned is crucial to avoid legal complications.
The board is also examining the "mail order" payment method, frequently used in sectors like services, e-commerce, and furniture because of the impracticality of physical payments and the need for installment options.
