Last week, we revealed here in Vala that the Tax Authority began collection actions, including the imposition of foreclosures on bank accounts, against self-employed persons who have not yet returned the so-called "corona grants in excess", that is - grants received by self-employed people to survive the corona period, but in retrospect it turned out that they did not meet the criteria for his reception.
Therefore, the tax authority required them to return parts of it or even all of it.
In the face of the Authority's demand, the independents claimed that some of them are still licking their wounds from the corona virus and it is not possible that they will be required to return sums in retrospect when even then they are unable to survive financially.
Other claims dealt with the procedural level, from challenging the very demand of the authority itself to the claim that they did not have time to respond to the demands, among other things due to a malfunction in the authority's computers.
Exposure and voila!
that sparked the affair
