Fines-fires for trucks and trailers with no documents

A block of tax evasion and illegal distribution of goods are attempted to put on the Ministry of Finance and AADE by ten -year -old fines on trucks and trailers that are transporting products without documents.

A new provision promoted by the Financial Staff, fines-fire in the event of goods trafficking without the existence of trafficking documents (shipping note or invoice).

Reportedly, the new arrangement for each tax audit imposes the following fines:

n EUR 5,000 instead of EUR 500 if the entity (entity) is obliged to keep a simplistic accounting system.

n EUR 10,000 instead of EUR 1,000 in the event that the entity (entity) is obliged to keep a duplicate accounting system.

‘Bells’ up to € 40,000

In the event of a relapse, that is, if trucks and trailers are found in new inspection to transmit products without documents then the fines are doubled, that is, businesses with simplified books will find a « bell » of 10,000 euros and businesses with a fine of 20,000 euros.

In any case of a new recurrence, the initial fine is quadrupled, that is, it rises to 20,000 euros for businesses with a simplistic accounting system and 40,000 euros for businesses with a duplicate system.

According to the provision, the new fines apply from April 1, 2025, and as reported by the Ministry of Finance with the arrangement intended to increase tax revenue as well as proper compliance with the tax liabilities of businesses that are obliged to comply with a duplicate system.

From December 1, 2025, all businesses will be included.

The Digital Shipping Note allows tax authorities to monitor real -time the movement of goods, enhancing transparency and contributing to the fight against tax evasion and smuggling.

According to the timetable, the application of the digital shipping note to the trafficking of goods on the market is made in two periods.
