Taxi firms declare 326 drivers and about 873,000 lei after tax checks

326 drivers — that is how many app-based taxi companies added to their tax returns by 5 November after the tax authority flagged discrepancies.

The companies declared almost 873,000 lei in additional taxes and contributions: 356,248 lei in social contributions, 223,310 lei in health insurance, 156,335 lei in payroll tax and 137,071 lei in VAT on imported services. The State Tax Service spotted the gaps by comparing returns with data from the National Road Transport Agency (ANTA).

According to the tax service, 49 companies had not declared VAT on imported services, 41 had drivers missing from their reports and 26 had both problems. Since 19 October the service has been contacting firms to explain how to correct their filings.

What it means for you

• If you run a taxi company or work with ride-hailing apps, your data is already being cross-checked with ANTA.
• The tax service advises recording cash payments on the till and declaring drivers and VAT on imported services correctly.
• For drivers, being declared means paid social and health contributions — pension record and insurance.
