has already recruited more than 300 contributors

AFIP investigates more than 300 people and companies “tax inconsistencies” that in the last two months of 2020, they bought financial dollars with bonds and stocks for US $ 402 million.

Among the audits initiated by the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) of AFIP, there are operations with obligations and / or actions for over a million dollars which were carried out by people with fiscal inconsistencies and / or without economic capacity.

As it appeared from the tax body, they work with the information transmitted by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to detect transactions carried out by “monotributists without economic capacity, apocryphal bill users and responsible persons registered with different offenses. In recent days, the DGI has started to inform taxpayers to proceed with their discharges.

Since the strengthening of stocks last year, restrictions on operating in foreign exchange markets have been stepped up and controls to detect “inconsistencies” in accessing financial dollars have been tightened.

In this investigation, the body led by Mercedes Marcó del Pont detected that there were 32 taxpayers without economic capacity who sold last November over a million dollars through dollar financial markets, such as cash with liquids, which is used to extract foreign currency from the country, or the MEP, which allows you to buy dollars on the Buenos Aires stock market. In this way, they managed to dollarize for a total of 72.4 million US dollars.

They also found more than 250 monotributists who have achieved sales of over US $ 14,000 (equivalent to approximately US $ 2 million in November 2020) which, a priori, do not have sufficient economic capacity. These are taxpayers who do not present an affidavit of personal property and who have in total carried out transactions for 59 million US dollars.

In addition, 29 people who issued an M invoice were identified and who were operating through the CCL or the MEP. AFIP indicated that “in all cases, progress is being made with Preventive actions (with lifting of the tax fair) to verify the economic and financial capacity, and to assess the origin of the funds “.

These taxpayers are required to provide detailed information on the purchase and sale of government securities and shares, MEP and CCL dollars, and to provide documents such as bank statements, sales orders, among others.

They must also inform by an affidavit note which are the accounts (bank and customers) in the country and abroad with which they operate; credit cards in the country and abroad of which he is the holder and / or complementary; indicate the accounts you have concerning electronic means of payment; the activity it develops; information from the intervening settlement agent (s).

The inspection missions of operations with CCL and MEP promoted by the DGI and the CNV are in addition to the electronic verifications carried out by AFIP during the year 2020.

Between October and December, the agency carried out checks on various databases which enabled it to initiate more than 36,300 electronic audits (Non-face-to-face controls and verifications which are handled entirely online). This facilitated control tasks in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in its first three months of validity, more than $ 1.1 billion in taxes owed.
