The job of Treasury and Social Security technicians has changed a lot in recent decades. If years ago one could imagine them as a kind of private detectives, 'hunting' for evaders and fraudsters or uncovering injustices in the workplace, now they could be defined as true hackers. The reason is none other than digitalization, which, like in many other sectors, has been accelerated by the pandemic. The luck, so to speak, is that many professionals from both the Tax Agency and the Labor Inspection were already prepared to work remotely and face the new challenges created by the 'new normal'. For example: how is a company inspected when all its workers are at home? Are there enough inspectors in the Tax Agency to deal with the new Google rate ? Will 2021 be a key year for taxation in the digital era in Spain? The CNMC warns that it only has "15 people" to regulate YouTubers and influencers: "We will see how we do it" However, digitalization in both the Treasury and Social Security also leaves many challenges.
It is something that the four unions that Business Insider Spain has spoken with agree on : the Union of Technicians of the Ministry of Finance ( Gestha ), the Independent Union of the Tax Agency ( SIAT ), the Progressive Union of Labor Inspectors ( UPIT ) and the Union of Labor and Social Security Inspectors ( SITSS ). Detectives and hackers: two Europe Cell Phone Number List complementary profiles If historically the work of a Treasury or Labor inspector has consisted of making in-person visits, comparing statements, cross-checking data and asking the right questions to the relevant people, now we must add the technical knowledge that many of these professionals have had to acquire. . "The system has evolved a lot," acknowledges Ana Ercoreca, president of SITSS. She explains that her grandfather was also a labor inspector. "If you tell him how we work and how we act now, it would be unthinkable for him.
He would take his car, go from town to town with his order of service... and there were no computer systems. It was difficult to know if a worker was registered , you had to talk to the Treasury," he acknowledges. It is prohibited to pay more than 1,000 euros in cash: this rule against tax fraud could also affect individuals But presence cannot be lost. "You will always have to go to a scaffolding or see if a machine is properly installed," she adds. Manuel Porras, Secretary of Organization of the SIAT, agrees with this. " We have to do everything. We have to search the databases to check which homes a taxpayer has, but maybe we also have to go to a school to see if their children are attending school where they say they live." Porras talks about the case of possible delocalized taxpayers: tax evaders who claim to reside outside of Spain to pay taxes in another country, but in reality remain here.
