The limited‑liability company from Mogilev, engaged in passenger transport by taxi cars, was presented with 112.6 thousand rubles in taxes by the tax inspection, including 77.1 thousand rubles of personal income tax for issuing “salary in a pouch.”

— The carrier paid employees 296.5 thousand rubles of income without calculating and paying personal income tax. The sources of the payments were cash revenue not credited by drivers to the company’s current (settlement) accounts, as well as money issued for the organization’s operational needs but not used for its intended purpose, — explained the information‑and‑explanatory work department of the Ministry of Taxes and Fees inspection for the October District of Mogilev. — In addition, the taxpayer reduced the tax base for the tax under the simplified taxation system by 592.2 thousand rubles, resulting in an underpayment of tax amounting to 35.5 thousand rubles.

Tax inspection staff, who identified violations during the course of desk‑control activities, sent notifications to the carrier proposing that it voluntarily calculate and pay the due taxes to the budget. However, the notifications were not complied with. According to the compiled report, 112.6 thousand rubles in taxes were demanded for payment to the budget.
