Trades that in Viewfinder of the MRA
The Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) tracking the hen that rests golden eggs. This is to reduce the number of cases of tax evasion. These are the vendors and teachers who will be first in line.

They chose to work on their own account and report large trades. They are street vendors, teachers who give private lessons, shopkeepers, restaurant or shop owners. Often reluctant to declare their assets, these individuals are monitored by the MRA. How MRA she stalking these "cheats"?

Asked by Le Express , a senior MRA states that several factors are taken into consideration before identifying "potential fraudsters." The institution sifts through the acquisitions of the person, such as luxury cars, properties or trips abroad. They used to put a flea in the ear or confirm suspicions from the intelligence services.

"The transactions we come from different sources. The moment there is a significant variance in transactions, an audit is initiated , "said the official. Thus, the person can be monitored. According duplication of express , officers of the MRA can observe a person suspected of not declaring his assets for a fairly significant period. A primary school teacher, now retired, confides in Le Express . " The MRA has watched me for two weeks. They were in front of me while I was giving private lessons. In estimating the number of students who were back and forth, they then asked me for the tax money that I had , "he says. The money, he hid it in his house, and for several years.

Indeed, these "business men" have resorted to all sorts of ideas for managing their money. Reportedly, some build "hiding" in their homes. " I had a teacher friend who piled their money in big bags and gave them to his brother who lives abroad. It carried the money in his suitcase when traveling , "said the retired teacher. He goes another of his friends would file a "suitcase full of money" with relatives, when he suspected that the officers of the MRA could disembark.

Regarding the vendors, who are also major importers, the MRA indicates that any individual can import products (in their luggage or cargo) in the country. This way, they pay the customs fees and VAT. What will happen once the "fraudsters" are confronted by the MRA? " The person must be able to explain the variances in its assets, and prove necessary , "added the official. Otherwise, the person shall pay the amount claimed by the MRA for taxes. " If the person agrees to cooperate and pay no disputes, penalties are either reduced or eliminated , "says one at the MRA.
