What are the memoranda of understanding?
Commitments by the Tax Agency and professional bodies to prevent fraud in certain economic sectors
The Tax Fraud Prevention Plan approved in 2005 by the Tax Agency established, among its preventive measures, the promotion of social collaboration in fraud prevention.
The Understanding Agreements allow businesses and professionals or their representative associations to commit to voluntarily collaborating with the Tax Agency by providing relevant information for the prevention of fraud. It is therefore a formula for extending social collaboration in fraud prevention beyond the mere processing of complaints.
They collect agreements from both parties. For example, the Tax Agency commits to set up a fluid communication channel in order to prevent fraudulent actions and to disseminate the agreements via the website. The Associations commit to provide the Tax Agency with all the information they have or can obtain that is of interest in preventing or combating fraud, as well as to organise activities aimed at Tax Agency staff in order to increase their knowledge of the economic sector in question.
