The two-day lockout measure, imposed by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue for not issuing or transmitting receipts, may deprive businesses of significant turnover, especially when it comes to high-traffic days, but some, however, seem not to be deterred.
For this reason, the auditors of the the Independent Authority for Public Revenue are vigilant and return to the scene of the… crime, in order to determine whether punishment has become a lesson.
And, in the case of this particular business, they did excellently.
It is about the well-known beach bar, in Kavouri, which was locked for two days in the summer, because it had not cut receipts.
What did the auditors find this time?
What is the panic button
As state agency AMNA reports, the company had installed =what has become known on the market as a panic button.
It is a software, which is installed in the tax mechanism and activated with the push of a button, even from a mobile phone.
Once activated, it instructs the tax mechanism to issue within a few seconds all receipts, which have not been issued until that time
The auditors detected it and the company was imposed a four-day lockout.
Smart tax audits
