Seizures without notice and immediate interest for State debtors
Seizures without notice and immediate interest for State debtors
From the first day of delay there will be interest that might even reach 18.5% for a year’s delay or 40% for anyone who has not paid taxes in 24 months
The ministry of Finance from now on will punish with a rate worse than that of a credit card those who delay in paying their taxes.
Confessing his inability to identify who can pay taxes but do not, the ministry came up with an incredible plan to prevent debtors from being late in paying their toll. It will make all overtaxed citizens to look for other ways for the money the State asks from them, even borrowing from moneylenders (as banks do not give loans anymore).
The auctions bill includes a provision that after two months of delay, will bring two kinds of interest, a lump 10% beyond the one for each month from the first day of a late payment, and if the recovery is delayed for one year, the single interest will double and if it gets into a third year of delay it will triple.
According to information from the MoF, the monthly rate for these debts will be 0.7% per month, ie 8.5% per year.
It is obvious that the measure aims to act as a deterrent for those who defer payment because they want to pay other obligations (suppliers, banks etc). It aims at prohibiting debtors delaying to pay their taxes, VAT etc. for more than 60 days, as then they will have to pay 11.4% interest.
But since it does not exclude those who have real difficulty in paying it means that the control mechanism of the ministry is unable to find those who have a real problem in paying their taxes and those that don’t. At the end this will bring new overdue debts after the deletion of the ones the ministry considers as inadmissible for recovery.
