Financial police officers diligently carried out checks outside the Streif in Kitzbühel. More than forty advertisements were placed. In total there is 36,000 euros for the tax authorities.
Major events like the Hahnenkamm tempt some business owners to do “crooked things” to make extra money or save money. Of course Vader State knows this too. “The events surrounding the Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbühel were also monitored by the financial police this year,” the Finance Ministry said.
The focus was mainly on employees of security companies, taxi companies, restaurants and exhibitors. “A total of 16 companies were checked and 99 employees were checked. The total of twelve financial police officers achieved significant success with their investigation.”
Tax and cash violations
In concrete terms, six violations related to the cash register were found at seven taxi companies and 3,670 euros in tax arrears were immediately seized at two companies. “These financial violations will also cost the companies around 6,000 euros in fines.” But that’s not all: four security companies received fifteen reports of violations of trade rules. “In addition, a report will also be filed in accordance with the Combating Wage and Social Dumping Act.”
Employee not registered with insurance
The companies will have to expect fines of almost 10,000 euros. For the same reasons, a total of 15 advertisements were placed at the five restaurants and exhibitors. In addition, two employees were not socially insured. “These companies will have to expect a total of around 20,000 euros in fines.”
42 reports with a fine of approximately 36,000 euros
The bottom line is that 42 reports were made during the financial police patrol next to the Streif. The fine is approximately 36,000 euros. “The Hahnenkamm Race is a sporting highlight with international allure. The event is also an important regional economic factor and the financial police ensure fair competition with their controls,” said Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP), who got an idea of the controls. We consistently take action against black sheep.
