It’s February and I’m only getting around to uploading my first post of the year. January just does not exist at this office for anything else that doesn’t have to do with quarterly and year end taxes; it’s all a blur to be honest. Besides the obvious tax deadlines, there are always major changes at the start of any year. So far, 2020 has started with a bang. We are still reeling from yet another change in IGIC tax from 1st January (yes, it went from 7% in 2018 down to 6,5% in 2019 and well, why not put it back up to 7% in 2020?!), quarterly and year end taxes, and of course BREXIT and everything that will bring with it.

Anyway, moving on with the topic at hand, we are living in a technological age and Public Administrations are using these aids as a means to check up on our personal situations and whether or not we are complying with our legal obligations as either citizens or business owners. How are they doing this?

Most people’s initial reaction to receiving any type of official notification is to panic. Others opt to bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich, hoping the situation will “resolve itself”. Both responses are a mistake! Of course it is rare the Tax Office will ever take the time to write to congratulate you on a job well done or to thank you for the taxes you’ve paid diligently every quarter over the past decade but before you go to panic stations, read through the document carefully because many times the Tax Office simply needs to confirm information filed on a declaration and the purpose of the notification does not necessarily result in any form of payment or penalty.
