Romanian tax authorities (ANAF) have uncovered a tax evasion scheme at a security and protection company totaling over 15.4 million lei. The scheme involved underreporting work hours to reduce tax liabilities. Investigators found the company failed to accurately report 350,000 hours of work. The evasion was achieved through manipulating payroll data submitted via the D112 declaration, a standard employer reporting form. This allowed the company to significantly lower its declared income and, consequently, its tax obligations. The complexity of detecting the fraud stemmed from its subtle implementation and the need for access to detailed fiscal administration data. Authorities are now pursuing legal action against the company to recover the evaded funds and penalize those responsible.
