The occupation 'Department of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Crimea' announced that it will tighten control over card transfers of individuals, suspecting them of concealing income from business activities. The 'tax authorities' openly declared their intention to withdraw from the gray zone funds received for the provision of services and sale of goods.
This was reported by Holos Kryma.
During the year, the Crimean 'tax' authorities sent more than 5,000 requests to banks regarding the movement of funds on bank cards of individuals who made transfers through the rapid payment system. According to the occupation administration, the amount of potential unaccounted for profits is more than 2 billion rubles (more than 1 billion hryvnias).
The head of the "department Roman Nazdrachov explained this pressure by the need to ensure a ''fair tax burden,'' stating that cash payments and card-to-card transfers lead to a shortfall in budget revenues.
At the first stage of the control measures, the occupation 'specialists' focused on individuals who rent out housing and use non-residential property, individuals who sold commercial real estate and/or vehicles, and self-employed citizens.
The occupation administration has already announced the next waves of inspections, which will cover beauty professionals (hairdressers, manicurists, cosmetologists), service professionals (accountants, photographers, videographers, dentists, fitness trainers) and, in particular, owners of commercial vehicles (trucks, heavy vehicles).
These actions have already brought significant charges to the occupiers. In 2024 and the first half of 2025, 34 'on-site tax audits' were conducted, which resulted in an additional 905 million rubles (over 450 million hryvnias) being added to the budget controlled by the occupiers.
Representatives of the occupation authorities emphasize that although banks allegedly control transfers as part of the fight against fraud, tax authorities have the right to demand statements of funds flow if they suspect that transfers are payments for goods or services.
