Characteristic of the severity with which the audits are being carried out is that 1 in 2 freelancers were caught having committed serious tax offences. Not only that: according to data presented by the Finance ministry, tax violations asserted by the FCU have increased by 6.406% within 2009-2010 while the auditors proceeded to opening the bank accounts of 1.875 freelancers.
Specifically, the FCU has opened the bank accounts of 481 doctors, 209 lawyers, and 1041 accounts of other professions. In several cases, their findings were more than astounding.
An audited dentist was found to have avoided issuing 139 service receipts during 2007-2009 at a total value of 586.275 euros depriving the state of 200.000 in taxes.
Another dentist declared an income of 132.105 euros for the same period. Meanwhile, his bank accounts handled deposits of 1.120.833 euros.
During the same period, a psychiatrist declared a total income of 206.228 euros and during that time deposits to his bank accounts reached 6.301.404 euros.
