These investigating the Tax extra careful this year – Rome Blad

30. April is the deadline to submit the tax return for retirees and earners.

For many, it is important to know which areas Tax Administration has given the employees instructed to check very thoroughly. Tax Administration makes a so risk assessment of which areas should be checked extra carefully when tax returns processed, writes Manager.

This year’s analysis shows that it still made a lot of mistakes in areas Tax Administration has examined previously, says Øivind Stromme, Director regional department of the Tax Administration.

Living and travel

This year, the Tax Administration selected the following areas:

* Taxable income from sale and rental of housing.

* Specific groups that require deduction for extra.

– the purpose of control activities is to ensure that taxes are set correctly. Gains on the sale and rental of housing is unfortunately a recurring area where we see it made some errors. Just last year it attempted to evade 600 million from the sale and rental of housing. Therefore we have a high control efforts in the field this year, says Stromme.

If you have not lived in the apartment in one of the last two years, the gain is taxed at 27 percent. If the proceeds are not recognized correctly in your tax return, you can at worst risk additional tax of between 15 and 60 percent.

Last year, the taxable gain on property sales pre-entered in your tax return. This year more than 17,000 taxpayers received the prepared information. In addition, 50,000 taxpayers received a letter saying that the Tax Administration has information on the sale or rental of housing.

People with rental income to fill in income tax return. If the field is not filled out, they will be taken out of control.

– Through our own Land Registry we reported officially registered sales. Sales information is checked simultaneously against residence and relocation in the National Register. Land Registry is the hub of inspection work on the residential area, said Stromme.

A lot wrong with the travel deduction

In this year’s income tax return Tax Administration also increase the overall allowance control.

– Areas where traditionally done much wrong is travel allowance and additional costs, says Stromme.

last year showed Tax Administration total control work that 5.3 billion was attempted to evade taxation.

– In evasions is it enough many sincere erroneous entries because people do not have knowledge of the legislation. But unfortunately, we know that the opposite also happens. We have strengthened guidance work, so it should be as easy as possible to do right, while checking our operations are becoming more efficient, concludes Stromme.
