Twelve police officers checked 16 companies and 99 employees, the Ministry of Finance announced today.
A total of six cash register-related violations were found at seven taxi companies, and €3,670 in tax arrears were immediately seized at two companies. Four companies in the security sector received a total of 15 reports of violations of trade regulations. In addition, a report was also made under the Wage and Social Dumping Combat Act. Two employees were not properly registered for social security. The cash register checks revealed two violations.
Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) also took part in the briefing on site; he was satisfied with the deployment of the financial police. “We are taking consistent action against black sheep who want to enrich themselves through tax and duty fraud at the expense of honest companies and the general public. The work of the financial police thus protects correct and tax-honest companies,” said the minister.
