Tax-Evading Doctors Identified One by One: 15 Billion Lira Found in Former Spouses’ and Secretaries’ Accounts

The Revenue Administration Directorate scrutinized doctors and uncovered hidden earnings totaling 15 billion Turkish Lira. During the audits, concealed funds were detected in the accounts of secretaries or former spouses. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance continues its inspections against tax evasion. Significant tax evaders have been identified in efforts to ensure tax justice. Revenue Directorates and Tax Administrations recently focused on private practice doctors. The Revenue Administration Directorate analyzed data in its possession and received from banks using artificial intelligence. According to a report by Hürriyet newspaper, the analysis of available data revealed 33,000 risky doctor taxpayers. In the next phase, the financial movements of close relatives, former spouses, and employees of doctors identified as high-risk were examined. Consequently, it was discovered that 3,500 doctors were high-risk taxpayers. One audit revealed a movement of 5 million lira in the bank account of a secretary employed by a doctor for minimum wage. In another case, activity was detected in the bank account of a former spouse. Officials stated that explanations of the source of such funds are demanded in such cases. If the source is not disclosed, the money is assumed to belong to the doctor, and the taxpayer is invited to voluntary compliance. The Revenue Administration Directorate’s doctor inspections indicated a discrepancy of around 15 billion lira in declared income. It was reported that discussions were held with the identified doctors, and nearly half voluntarily complied. Those who voluntarily complied were noted to file tax returns for the income they earned. It was emphasized that tax penalties were not levied on taxpayers who voluntarily complied.
