Head of the General Police Department R.Chinggis and Head of the General Taxation Authority B.Ariunsan participated in the Prime Minister's weekly broadcast "Hour of Solutions”.

As the number of companies with taxation payment delays and tax evasion cases are increasing, the broadcast focused on this issue.   

Since 2012, 254 cases of tax evasion were registered at the General Police Authority, of which 107 cases were resolved with penalties and 91 cases were dismissed. Presently, there are 29 cases are under investigation, involving 548 enterprises. Losses of 62 billion MNT have been incurred from these cases, and so far, 18 billion MNT has been repaid and assets of 234 million MNT have been frozen. 

Three thousand out of 4,211 enterprises have avoided paying taxes by submitting fraudulent VAT invoices, but the authorities are avoiding imposing criminal liability. Administrative measures will be imposed and a list of these organizations has been sent to the General Taxation Authority. 

As reported by E.Chinggis, there are presently 1,200 enterprises which are under investigation for VAT payment.

Prime Minister Ch.Saikhanbileg stressed, “Mongolia needs a strong army of taxpayers. In contrast to our structure, wealth creators have been considered offenders, which prove that the legal structure is wrong in Mongolia."

Heads of the authorities that participated in the Prime Minister's broadcast shared the opinion that imposing high penalties and fines is not acceptable in practice, and would put more pressure on taxpayers.
