Hello @blocktrades. This story happened around 2009-2013, when the officer from the tax office came to our shop, he said we had not paid the business and building tax for a long time. We were very shocked at that time, because the nominal listed was very large, as much as our profits for one year.
Then we asked the officer the solution. He said he could take care of it, but we had to pay through the officer. We pay the tax in installments through the officer for up to a year. The second year the officer did not come again, but another officer came from the tax office. He said that we had not paid taxes for a long time. If not immediately paid, the business license will be revoked.
We were also confused, and we said we had paid, we showed proof of installments. He said the proof of payment was all invalid. And we had to pay again ... meaning we were tricked by fake officers. That's my story. Thanks.
I've heard a couple of similar stories at this point. Seems like your taxers should make clear that taxes will never be collected by people showing up at your business and that any such person is a scammer if they express a willingness to directly collect the tax money rather than have you send it to a government address.
