Tax Text Message Explained: Who Has Until Mehr 28?

The Tax Affairs Organization has sent text messages asking taxpayers to review the purchase and sales records registered in their names and, if discrepancies are found, to confirm or reject them.

By sending an SMS, the tax affairs organization asked the taxpayers to check the sales and purchase information registered in their name and, if there is a discrepancy, to confirm or reject it.

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan, the tax affairs organization sent an SMS asking taxpayers to check the sales and purchase information registered in their name and, if they find any discrepancy, to confirm or reject it.

What was the story of sending a new tax SMS to ordinary citizens?

This text message was sent even to people who do not have economic activities, but what is the reason for receiving this text message and how can false information be corrected or rejected?

Maybe the following tax SMS has been sent to you these days. A text message was sent to many people asking them to respond to their purchase and sale announcement by October 28. The tax organization wants to explain a tax issue, and in this report, we explain the purpose of sending these text messages in simple language.

All about the new tax SMS

The first point is that even if you are not a businessman, information about some of your purchases or transactions may be registered in the tax system. Now we explain step by step.

Suppose you buy insurance for your car or buy a plane ticket. The service provider may send transaction information to the tax authority using your national code. The tax affairs organization records this information in a system so that it is clear who bought or sold what, from whom and for what amount.

Now the organization wants you to enter the system and check whether the information registered in your name is correct or not. So receiving an SMS does not necessarily mean that you have a tax liability or need to pay a new tax.

2. Why does the IRS collect this information?

One of the goals of this work is to clarify transactions and calculate taxes more accurately. For example, if a seller buys a product for one million tomans and sells two million tomans, his purchase and sale information will help the organization to check his transactions. Of course, there are two types of taxes that should not be confused:

Performance tax: relates to taxable income and business profits; That is, the organization examines acceptable incomes and expenses to calculate the tax related to economic activity.

Value added tax: In eligible transactions, it is collected from the buyer and paid to the tax authority according to regulations. Its final calculation for businesses also depends on the tax and tax credits of related purchases. Therefore, these two taxes are not the same, and the mere registration of a purchase or sale does not automatically mean that the person is in debt.

3. If you are not a businessman, why is your purchase and sale information recorded?

This is the most important part of the story. Suppose you are an employee and do not have any shop or company. However, information from some transactions or services you have received may be recorded in the system. For example, insurance policy purchase information, information on some purchases or transactions registered with a national code, or information sent by other companies or institutions about a transaction. The organization has also provided a folder for non-traders so that they can view the information registered in their name.

However, recording purchase information in the directory alone does not mean commercial activity or the obligation to pay taxes. It is important to check the type of transaction, the accuracy of the information and the regulations related to it.

4. What to do if wrong information is registered in your name?

The tax organization suggests entering the tax system and checking the information. The announced route is as follows:

2. Find the "Frequent 169 Transaction Statement Information" section.

3. Enter the "Information Response System" section.

4. Check the sales and purchase notices registered in your name.

5. If you do not recognize a transaction or its information is incorrect, use the option to reject or declare a discrepancy if there is a corresponding option. Note that the exact title of the menus and how to register the objection must be matched with the official guide of the system.

Suppose you received an insurance claim, but the information about it is recorded in the system as if you made a sale. Such a case may be caused by the way the information is recorded. You should check the details and if there is a discrepancy, follow the official route.

In another example, suppose the purchase of several water pumps or industrial electrical equipment is registered in your portfolio, while you have not bought such equipment at all. This needs to be investigated; The information may be incorrect or the transaction may have been registered with your details for any reason. If it is possible to declare a discrepancy, follow it up.

6. Will you be fined if you don't deny the information?

If the information is wrong, reject it if there is a reject option; However, it does not provide an official and complete explanation about the legal effects of not rejecting the information or the objection deadline. Therefore, it is better to check the deadline of 28 Mehr 1405 and the possible consequences of not taking action from the official announcements of the Tax Affairs Organization.

The summary of the Tax Affairs Organization's approach is that this organization asks the SMS recipients to check the purchase and sale information registered in their name; If they don't know a transaction or the information is wrong, they should follow it through the official way, but simply receiving an SMS or registering a transaction does not mean a tax liability.

The Tax Affairs Organization itself has announced about these text messages that "don't worry; Text message of Article 169 alone does not mean that your tax is due or fixed." In this explanation, it is stated: "Following the recent text messages of the Tax Affairs Organization regarding the purchase and sale information subject to Articles 169 and 169 of the Direct Taxes Law, the respected taxpayers are requested to check the information registered in their name and in case of discrepancies, non-relevance of the transaction, or mistakes, take action within the stipulated deadline regarding the rejection or correction of the information."
