Product

Justification for the high tax risk category

1

Vegetables, fruits, root and tuber vegetables, other edible plants:

The institutional experience has revealed a low degree of taxation of revenues, in most of the cases processed at the level of tax control authorities , the revenues realized not being recorded in the financial-accounting records of taxpayers involved in the entire transaction circuit.

– NC  code from 0701 to 0714 inclusive Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers

The nature of the products, i.e. their perishable nature and their final destination, the high demand, the specific ways of marketing to the final consumer, including from the point of view of the significant use of cash as a means of payment in agri-food markets, makes it difficult to trace the products and encourages tax evasion.

– NC  code from 0801 to 0814 inclusive Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons

 

2

Alcoholic beverages

It is unequivocally recognised as an area in which the high level of taxation, compared to other products intended for human consumption whose final price does not include excise duties, influences the decision of some taxpayers in bad faith to engage in tax evasion with these specific products.

– NC  code from 2203 to 2208 including beverages, spirits

The low level of taxation is also constantly noted by representative associations working in this field.

3

New constructions

The volume of transactions and their dynamics, the tax regime which includes certain specificities and the variety of ways in which the finished product is subsequently used at company level require an operational monitoring of transactions in order to prevent tax evasion by early identification of cases of tax non-compliance and application of the appropriate tax treatment.

New constructions are those mentioned in Article 292 para. (2) letter f) of Law no. 227/2015 on the Tax Code, as amended and supplemented.

4

Mineral products (natural mineral water, sand and gravel)

Mineral products revealed a fiscal risk associated with both extraction and subsequent marketing.

– NC  code from 2201 to 2202 including waters, including natural or artificial mineral waters and aerated waters, not containing sugar or other sweetening matter nor flavoured

Natural mineral water being a consumer product is in principle subject to the same fiscal risks associated with the products mentioned in point 1.

– NC  code 2505 – Natural sands of all kinds, whether or not coloured

The increased demand for mineral aggregates generated by the construction sector, the difficulty of monitoring the entire production and of reconstituting the quantities of raw materials incorporated in the finished product make it difficult to trace products and encourage tax evasion.

– NC  code 2517 – Rolled gravel, crushed stone, crushed rocks, crushed rocks, stone generally used as aggregates for concrete, for road metalling or for railway or other ballast, gravel and flint, whether or not heat-treated; macadam of slag, dross, metallurgical slag or similar industrial waste, whether or not containing the materials specified in the first part of the heading; tarred macadam for roads; granules, chippings and powder, of stones of heading 2515 or 2516, whether or not heat-treated

Clothing and footwear

The case law at the level of tax control authorities  has revealed the existence of tendencies to use these products in tax evasion circuits. The modus operandi based on the relatively short marketing cycle and characterized by the interposition on the trading circuit of companies with inadequate fiscal behaviour that formally take over a large part of the tax burden, without making the payment of tax obligations, determines the need for an operational monitoring of the transactions carried out as a prerequisite for the prevention and early detection of illegal acts.
