PORDENONE – He worked as an accountant for years, without having the degree and also collected the money he received from his clients for the different tax payments: in the end he pocketed 400 thousand euros. The false professional, resident in Pordenone, has defrauded up to 25 clients and has been investigated by the Guardia di Finanza for abusive exercise of the profession, falsification and embezzlement. Two businessmen were also denounced in the investigation for the crimes of issuing and using false invoices. The man certified the title of accountant through a “data processing center” which, however, was authorized for the mere transmission of tax returns.
In order to “cover” the omitted payments, he modified the payment certificates to the tax authorities (which he gave to the clients), certifying, in particular, non-existent compensations of which apparently no tax debts were found. The scam arose when the tax authorities notified the tax bills customers for skipped tax payments.
THE INVESTIGATION
Upon further investigation it was discovered that the same “fake accountant” was a total evader and that it had hidden from the tax authorities, in the period from 2014 to 2018, more than one million euros of undeclared income. Thanks to their repentance and collaboration, taxpayers were also found to be hiding their income, even fraudulently. These include a company based in Pordenone, operating in the sector of Web marketing it had not declared income of more than two million euros, accounting for invoices for non-existent operations equivalent to approximately 900 thousand euros.
Regarding the two representatives of this company, the investigating judge issued a freezing order for an equivalent up to the amount of 413 thousand euros, equal to the benefit obtained from the non-payment of taxes. In relation to one of the last investigated, the investigating judge also issued an order of precautionary custody at home for aggravated personal injuries and an attempt to induce false statements before the judicial authorities. The man, in fact, after the tax evasion challenge, had attacked the self-appointed accountant in a public place, injuring him and holding him responsible for the inspection activities of the Guardia di Finanza.
THE JOKE
“In relation to tax debts originated by the non-payment of taxes by the false accountant, the obligations to the tax administration from those who turn to a professional – explains the GDF – must in any case be honored by the obligated subjects who, in If the irregularities perpetrated are not known, the applicable sanctions can only be reduced. “
The provincial commander of the Guardia di Finanza de Pordenone, Colonel Stefano Commentucci adds: “Those assisted will hardly be exempt from paying taxes owed to the Treasury, on whose return the only viable way can be, therefore, a legal action for compensation against the same “. “The current regulatory framework, as well as the jurisprudential orientation, establishes that the obligation to present the return and the payment of the taxes owed does not end with the simple entrustment of the tasks related to a professional, but requires a control and Verify its effective execution by the taxpayer to whom the obligations refer – remarks Commentucci – The taxpayer therefore always has the obligation not only to place the professional in the conditions of being able to operate with full legitimacy, but also to verify that his work is done correctly and on time. “
“It is always necessary to check whether the professional in charge of these tasks is an accountant registered in the corresponding register – concludes the official – freely available online in the dedicated portal, or a mere” consultant “, checking from time to time, in relation to their needs and purposes, to whom to request the professional services they need “.
