Employees of the State Tax Service carried out inspections at several shopping centers in Chisinau to see how the legislation is respected there. The tax inspectors made control purchases from a number of clothing, footwear and cosmetics shops, IPN reports, quoting the Service.

The tax inspectors documented 16 cases of deviation from the fiscal legislation: non-issuing of sales slip; lack of documents of origin for the goods; hampering of inspection and surplus of cash. The traders who committed illegalities are liable to fines of 5,000 to 7,000 lei.

The State Tax Service warns that the inspections will continue all over the country and not only at shopping centers, but also at other retail outlets and service providers.
