According to a recent report from German media outlet freenet, the Traffic Control Unit (KEV) of Rosenheim Main Tax Office conducted a tax enforcement inspection in the state of Berchtesgaden, revealing serious allegations of tax evasion by a hookah store.
In the store, tax officials discovered 17,750 milliliters of untaxed e-liquid. Several pages of confiscation records were filled with various flavors of e-liquid and e-cigarettes containing e-liquid. The estimated tax loss is approximately 2,800 euros.
Despite regular inspections by officials on tax evasion in shops, the owner of this particular shop evidently failed to comply with regulations. The handling outcome of this incident will urge the shop owner to either pay the outstanding taxes or provide evidence of the disposal or recovery of these e-liquids, with a deadline set no later than February 12th this year.
In addition, due to a lack of proper tax documentation, tax officials have seized approximately 3.5 kilograms of waterpipe tobacco in stores and warehouses. As a result of this action, the police have initiated criminal tax proceedings against the shop owner on suspicion of deliberate tax evasion. In addition to a total tax reassessment of approximately 4,700 euros, the shop owner may also face substantial fines.
