Dina Kussainova announced that those who receive transfers from more than 100 different individuals within three months, regardless of the amount, will be subject to inspections.
“If you are not engaged in entrepreneurial activities, such a number of transfers simply cannot occur, meaning ordinary people will not be affected… There must be 100 different individuals. You can analyze your own transfers; just open the app and see how many people send you money. Family members may often fall under this criterion if, for instance, there are consistent transfers over three consecutive months. Then you will be subject to scrutiny,” the spokesperson stated.
She also commented on the tactics used by taxi drivers who, in an attempt to conceal their income, transfer funds for services to their children's accounts.
“The Tax and Civil Codes establish that the legal representatives – parents and legal guardians – are responsible for their children. Therefore, this tactic will also not work. Parents will receive notifications. If a bank account is opened in the child's name (and transfers are coming in – Ed.), then there will be consequences,” Dina Kussainova explained.
A similar mechanism will apply in the case of fundraising in schools and kindergartens.
“If such an active mother (who collects money in schools or kindergartens – Ed.) receives a notification of desk audit, she will need to explain what the funds were collected for, who they were for, and how they were spent. Fundraising in schools and kindergartens is prohibited in principle. An explanation will be provided, and nothing will happen,” the spokesperson concluded.
