Tax Audit: The Question Is "When," Not "If"
The Tax Administration has the right to audit any taxpayer. Audits can cover a period of up to 5 years back. When the inspector arrives, they ask for documents. Fast. If you don't have an organized system — panic begins.
What Tax Audits Typically Request
- All incoming and outgoing invoices for the audited period
- Bank statements matching the invoices
- Contracts underlying the invoices
- Delivery notes as proof of goods delivery
- VAT records
- Payroll calculations
- Import calculations
The inspector expects everything to be available within hours, not days.
The Solution: Organized Digital Archive
With a DMS system, audit preparation looks like this:
- Inspector requests invoices from supplier X for 2024
- You search: "invoices supplier X 2024"
- System displays all invoices — organized chronologically
- Export to PDF or print
- Time: 30 seconds
Cost of Being Unprepared
- Fines for not producing documents: 100,000 — 2,000,000 RSD
- Inspector can estimate your tax base — always to your disadvantage
- Interest on tax differences for all audited periods
