“We hear that some people who agreed to a tax deferral for 2019 are now unable to receive the disability benefit. Sodra explains that he cannot calculate it because he considers that the taxes for 2019 will not pay. The situation is absurd and that treatment surprises us. Companies that have deferred taxes are considered not to have paid them, but a different principle applies to the self-employed. That cannot be the case, “says G. Paluck, chairman of the Social Democratic Party.
The politician asks the State Tax Inspectorate (STI) and Sodra to review this and other similar cases and change practices as soon as possible.
According to Paluck, if self-employed workers can defer taxes during quarantine, they shouldn’t be listed as defaults.
“What is the value of a tax deferral agreement if, if necessary, services are asked to pay those taxes? Services are needed during a pandemic here and now, not when all deferred taxes are paid – that is, after 2 or 3 years. Similar and similar stories attest that some freelancers are discriminated against, even though they have been paying taxes honestly for many years, ”says G. Paluckas.
At the time, Seimas member R. Budbergytė points out that STI and Sodra must apply the same principles to companies and employees who work independently.
“In the case of companies that have agreed to a tax deferral, it is interpreted in the sense that they have fulfilled an obligation with the State and, therefore, are not included in any list of debtors and are not subject to any sanction. Self-employed tax-deferred should be treated in the same way. Otherwise, tax deferral is like bear service. On the one hand, he is in debt, on the other hand, as if not, ”says R. Budbergytė.
“It is likely that if they had known that they would not receive services as a result, the self-employed would not have used this help,” he added.
