Experts warn... It can emerge even years later: The tax danger awaiting citizens!

The artificial intelligence-supported tax audit system implemented by the Revenue Administration (GİB) is closely monitoring those who use the 'other' option as a description in their bank accounts.

While the system classifies such transactions as risky, tax experts warn that these types of transfers, which can be confused with rental payments, could result in penalties in the future.

IT CAN LEAD TO TAX PENALTIES

Speaking to Habertürk, Tax Expert Murat Bal said that account holders could face unexpected tax debts due to an incorrect description selection.

Bal said, "For example, you send money to your sibling and accidentally write 'other' or 'rent' in the description section. The Revenue Administration's artificial intelligence system can automatically evaluate this as rental income, and a tax penalty may be issued in the future."

Stating that tax offices have been automatically auditing these transactions for the last three months, Bal said that both parties could be called in for questioning to determine whether amounts sent with the 'other' description are actually real rental payments.

E-NOTIFICATIONS HAVE BEGUN TO BE SENT

With the activation of the artificial intelligence-supported system, it is stated that e-notifications have been sent to many people. Tax offices can examine the details of such transfers and request additional explanations from account holders.

Stating that those subjected to erroneous assessments have the right to appeal, Bal expressed that he expects the Revenue Administration to make a new regulation within the next 1-2 months to prevent such misunderstandings.

Experts emphasize that citizens should pay attention to the description section in bank transfers and that it is important for them to appeal to the administration if they make an incorrect transaction.
