The most frequently asked questions from the tax office
Usually, the requirement to provide explanations comes some time after submitting all kinds of reports and declarations, so any, even the most minor, error or inaccuracy in the documents can become the reason for them.

Questions may cause unreasonable losses when checking the accrual of income tax, filing an updated declaration or calculation in which the corrected amount of tax payable is less than that originally sent, etc.
