The use of computer systems in international cooperation will be optimized to combat tax fraud and evasion<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Government expects 6,591 tax investigations to be carried out this year to detect undeclared activities as part of its objective to address the challenges of preventing and combating tax fraud and evasion.<\/p>\n

This is stated in 'Component 27' of the annex published by the European Commission on the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of Spain, in which the Executive of Pedro S\u00e1nchez also plans to increase the number of staff of the Tax Agency this year up to the 26,320.<\/p>\n

The purpose is to achieve a workforce of dimensions closer to those that have been common throughout its history, in which it has almost always had more than 27,000 employees, reaching maximums of around 28,000.<\/p>\n

The Tax Agency's staff has been reduced compared to that available before the economic crisis of 2008. This situation has occurred as a result of the combination of two factors: on the one hand, the high average age of the staff, with the consequent retirement scenario in the coming years, and, on the other hand, the difficulties in incorporating new personnel after successive years with reduced public job offers.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, within the objectives set by the Executive for this year in terms of tackling tax fraud, it is included increasing and optimizing the use of computer systems in international cooperation to fight against tax fraud and evasion.<\/p>\n

To improve compliance with tax obligations, in particular for taxpayers registered as foreign taxpayers, the Tax Agency will carry out a project that will use new information on taxpayers obtained in accordance with various international standards.<\/p>\n

These include the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).<\/p>\n

The objective of the project will be that the tax data of at least 85% of registered foreign taxpayers for whom the Tax Agency has received information in 2019 have been identified and verified, so that they can be used for risk analysis no later than December 31, 2021.<\/p>\n

In addition, the establishment of a cooperative model is proposed, with the aim of improving the relations of the Tax Agency with its interested parties, such as large companies, SMEs, self-employed workers and relevant associations, as well as with the judicial system, as a means to achieve greater compliance with tax obligations.<\/p>\n

On this matter, the Tax Agency will carry out a project in 2021 aimed at promoting the disclosure by multinational companies of information about their operations, which the Executive hopes may have repercussions on the taxation of these companies.<\/p>\n

As far as taxpayers are concerned, the Agency aims to improve cooperation and increase compliance through the preparation of 20 transparency reports in 2021. \u201cCooperation with judges, prosecutors and courts is expected to increase by increasing investigations in the tax field," highlights the Executive.<\/p>\n

Anti-fraud law<\/h3>\n

Within this component it is also stipulated that the Tax Agency must present in the last quarter of 2023 an evaluation report on the law to combat tax fraud, which has already been approved by the Congress of Deputies, proposing, In view of its results, the maintenance of the included measures, their modification or suppression.<\/p>\n

However, before this date, in the last quarter of 2022, a provisional evaluation of the effects of the Anti-Fraud Law will be carried out by the Tax Agency.<\/p>\n

The objectives of this reform are to strengthen the rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the internal market, as well as to modify direct and indirect taxes, certain taxes of local administrations and the regulation of games of chance.<\/p>\n

The reform introduces changes in the regulations aimed at establishing parameters of tax justice and facilitating actions aimed at preventing and combating fraud by strengthening tax control.<\/p>\n

Boosting taxpayer assistance<\/h3>\n

Within the plan, the Government has set the objective of improving assistance to taxpayers and, to this end, believes that a key element of the Tax Agency's Strategic Plan for 2020-2023 is to improve the services provided to taxpayers through greater use of electronic platforms (the so-called 'ADI', Comprehensive Digital Administration).<\/p>\n

The reform consists of the provision of new services to facilitate the processing of corporate tax, personal income tax and the imposition of VAT. The new services will include the improvement of communication methods, technical assistance services and consultation of user data and assistance in relation to tax returns and their processing.<\/p>\n

The implementation of these services is planned to be carried out progressively in three phases during the period 2021-2023, with the aim that more and more clients choose to use electronic services instead of going to their local tax offices.<\/p>\n

With these measures, the Agency aims to make it easier for taxpayers to comply with the tax code and, in this way, increase tax revenue.<\/p>\n

To this end, a reinforcement of the assistance provided to taxpayers is planned from this year, with an improvement for Web Companies and access to it for at least 1,666,123 taxpayers and Web Income for 1,779,505 taxpayers.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
