Tax Service announces snap inspections in October: retail, taxis and online sales

The State Tax Service (SFS) has announced snap inspections in retail, transport and services for October. The reason: in September, violations were found in almost two out of three checks.

The focus is on retail trade, sales of tobacco products and precious metals, passenger transport (including taxis), consumer services and business done through online platforms. Inspectors check whether a fiscal receipt is issued for cash payments, whether income is fully declared and whether there are documents proving where the goods came from.

In September, about 710 operational inspections found violations in 458 cases (around 64.5%), with total penalties of almost 2.03 million lei. Retail fared worst: 224 violations in 271 checks.

What it means for you

• Shops, taxis, service providers and online sellers face a higher chance of an inspection in October.
• Check your cash register and make sure a receipt is issued for every cash payment.
• Keep invoices and documents proving the origin of goods at hand.
