The director of one of the companies considered to be the market leader was also detained, hvg.hu was informed.

NAV has marched to dozens of security companies

Investigators from the tax office marched on the leaders of thirty to forty property protection companies on Tuesday, several of whom were also detained, he told hvg.hu. We know that the director of a company that is among the leading companies in the market has also been arrested.

The head of one of the best-known security companies in the national security market was also kidnapped by NAV investigators early Tuesday morning in a coordinated action involving 30-40 security companies. Although NAV did not respond to our request, hvg.hu was confirmed by several independent sources.

We know that some of the companies involved were investigated by tax investigators years ago and have now reached a stage where house searches have already been ordered and more people have been arrested. Tuesday’s action had a great impact in property protection circles because, according to our information, the leader of a group of companies that is one of the largest players in the market has also been arrested. We contacted the company but we have not yet commented on our information.

The market for asset protection companies has been more focused by the tax authorities for some time, after it is an open secret that an important part of them are deceived.

The hack has been going on for decades, and it also affects large, market-leading security companies whose managers include once-high-ranking law enforcement executives. Even many of the leading companies in the market with a state tailwind are not working on their own application but on an outsourcing system. The prime contractor signs a contract with the client, but outsources the work to smaller companies, so naturally he cuts his own profits and taxes them too. But subcontractors, who already have less money, are forced to do undeclared work.

NAV also does not hide the problems related to asset protection companies. According to the experience of the tax agency, tax evasion and tax evasion with billing chains are typical in this sector, when public charges are not paid after the employment of security guards in addition to the circumvention of VAT rules . Therefore, NAV has advised recipients of the accounts that if tax evasion is suspected, they can take additional steps in addition to their own business controls to rule out the possibility of engaging in tax evasion.

Even the largest companies with hundreds of employees report only a fraction of their employees, and they borrow the rest of the so-called “throwaway” companies that do not pay employee contributions and then fail.

“Until June 30, 2019, the payment of the guaranteed minimum wage and public charges for the position of tutor that requires a secondary professional qualification will be at least 1,356 HUF / hour, and as of July 1, 2019 1,334 HUF / hour due to the reduction in public charge (not to be confused with a minimum “utility rate” for the sector, which is currently HUF 2,336 / hour). In the case of a service contracted for a lesser amount, there is a risk that the post-employment public charge will not be incurred ”.

In recent years, several companies have been investigated for this, so some of them have been “cleaning” for some time. Yes, but some of the ongoing criminal cases date back years, so many have joined their ranks to no avail recently if they haven’t played fair before.

There are various interpretations of the processes that take place in the market. According to one, the formula is simple: Since the budget suffers billions in damages from these gimmicks, the state just wants to get its due revenue. The other explanation is that they want to give a place in the market to bigger players, more rooted in the NER, who, precisely because of the generosity of the State, have enough capital not to be forced to cheat.

The market for asset protection companies has been more targeted by tax authorities for some time, after it is an open secret that a significant part of them are cheating.

Many of the leading companies in the market with a state tailwind also do not work on their own application but rather on an outsourcing system. The prime contractor contracts with the client, but outsources the work to smaller companies, so naturally it cuts down on its own profits and also taxes them.
