Finance officials also noted that the same passage was always cited in many of the bylaws of controlled associations, allowing capital outflows from Austria to foundations in Turkey.
The Ministry of Finance has verified 211 Turkish-Islamic associations and found various misconduct, both in terms of tax and tax laws and in accordance with Islamic law. As a consequence, 40 percent of audited companies should be denied non-profit status. The corresponding communications have not yet been delivered and the process has not yet been completed. The general organizations concerned were thus exposed to a “prejudice”.
The background: Since 2019, Finance Ministry officials have been reviewing 211 associations and corporations out of a total of four umbrella organizations in the Turkish-Islamic area. The examinations were carried out on behalf of the Office of Culture and are intended, among other things, to identify any foreign funding prohibited by Islamic Law. The first results were published by the Ministry of Finance and, according to the department, show that, contrary to the declared non-profit status, the associations negotiated and organized commercial activities, mainly catering and events, but did not denounce them. Therefore, taxes and duties were not paid correctly. Finance expects additional claims in the millions, it said Thursday night. As early as 2019, a coordinating organization in question was informed that the disputed ticket did not correspond to the non-profit status. However, no changes were made to the clubs.
Finance officials also noted that many of the statutes of controlled associations always cited the same passage, allowing capital outflows from Austria to foundations in Turkey. Due to the equality of words in the association’s statutes, the researchers here assume a conscious system.
