Do you know what relationships we have? To what extent do they have real information about the people we contribute to in Spain, in any region?“, asked the interviewers.

“The Tax Agency, the information it has is, for example, statements of information you submittedyour own statements, reports, for example, which can be done internationally from the CRS, from within a company, all withholdings… In the end, if you are employed and when the income withdrawal arrives You realize you charged 20,000 euros, but then you say you charged 15,000, in fact they have information that someone paid you 20,000“Baena indicated on the podcast.
