Vieste. The Financiers of the Tenenza of Vieste have discovered a tax evasion that would have been perpetrated by a company active in the management and rental of gaming machines.
The yellow flames, valorising in a tax key the evidence collected during a coordinated plan of interventions to combat illegal and irregular gaming carried out jointly with the Customs and Monopolies Agency, carried out a tax audit of the company with gaming equipment installed in numerous commercial establishments in the captain’s area.
During the audit it was found that it would have subtracted from taxation a taxable base which, reconstructed on the basis of presumptive calculations, would amount to over 14 million euros for the purposes of the single tax levy (PREU), income taxes (IRES) and the regional tax on productive activities (IRAP).
In particular, these are 16 devices of the new slot type (AWP) which during the inspection activities were found with a double electronic card hidden in a false bottom inside the device and which, not being connected to the electronic network of the Customs and Monopolies Agency, would have made it possible to evade the counting of bets and evade the related taxes.
The taxable bases subtracted from taxation were reported to the Customs and Monopolies Agency and the Revenue Agency for the subsequent phases of the tax assessment.
Furthermore, during the tax audit, the financiers found administrative violations for the use of 1 “illegal” worker and connected to the payment of employees’ wages in cash.
Based on the circumstantial elements collected during the tax inspection, the company’s legal representative was referred to the Judicial Authority for the crimes of unfaithful declaration and computer fraud.
