Rabat –The General Directorate of Taxes has begun subjecting 87 companies to extensive tax audits, after monitoring indicators of tax evasion and fraud related to the mismatch between the declared wages and the level of the actual wealth of their managers, according to data revealed by informed sources.
The audits, carried out by regional and regional teams in Rabat, Casablanca and Tangiers, are important to verify the consistency of accounting statements with the real financial situation of managers, especially after recording cases of wages that do not exceed the minimum wage, despite the fact that those concerned own real estate and luxury cars.
According to the same data, the monitoring services relied on central data analysis algorithms, which made it possible to monitor imbalances between tax declarations and data available at official institutions, including the National Road Safety Agency (NARSA) and the Real Estate Governorate, in addition to bank data and information related to travel consumption abroad.
Initial investigations showed that there were attempts to evade taxes during the past four years, by declaring low or semi-nominal wages in exchange for financing personal expenses from company accounts or from undeclared income, in what the sources described as a “pattern of tax disappearance” that has become more dangerous with the tightening of digital censorship.
The same sources confirmed that the audit operations were not limited to accounting documents, but also included tracking the managers’ lifestyle and its conformity with their tax declarations, within the framework of a new approach that relies on the intersection of data between various departments.
This procedure is based on the requirements of Article 232 of the General Tax Code, which grants the tax administration the power to review accounting files for a period of up to ten years in the event that fraud or tax violations are proven.
