Voluntary disclosure - what do you need to know?
You can submit a voluntary disclosure at any time but it must be considered effective for you to avoid being punished. You cannot upload a voluntary disclosure if:
• The tax authorities have documented the fact that you have committed a tax offense or a fiscal offense;
• The relevant authorities have already started their official activities in your case;
• You have received a summons regarding a fiscal misdemeanor or crime;
• There is evidence that you induced another person to commit a misdemeanor or fiscal offense;
• You are the organizer of a group (or association) whose purpose is to commit a tax offense.
If you submit a voluntary disclosure - that is, you voluntarily notify about committing a prohibited act - and fulfill the obligations that are still incumbent on you, the head of the Tax Office may waive the penalty. Remember to describe exactly what the prohibited act is about, provide important details about the circumstances of the committed act and - what is equally important - fulfill your obligations (especially making payments, if you are in arrears with any).
