The Álava Provincial Council recovered 77 million euros last year thanks to the combination of tax control and tools such as TicketBAI. This figure was announced this Wednesday by the Provincial Deputy of Finance, Budgets, and Treasury, Itziar Gonzalo, during a control session of the General Assemblies.
Gonzalo highlighted the "intense and diversified work" carried out by the provincial treasury, which included verification, investigation, and control actions. Among these, she emphasized 1,801 actions related to economic activities, yielding over 17.7 million euros, aimed at detecting anomalous income or fictitious expenses.
She also cited the impact of other control areas, such as refunds, which brought in over 4.1 million euros; territorial transaction volumes, exceeding 21.5 million; and withholding-related actions, which surpassed 11.6 million euros.
Other investigated lines of action include capital gains and cryptocurrencies, resulting in 2.6 million euros. In checks on high-risk tax sectors, cases worth 2.1 million euros were closed, and actions addressing tax inconsistencies amounted to 3.2 million euros.
“"TicketBAI is a strategic tool in the modernization of the tax system, allowing us to control invoicing at the source, reinforce income traceability, and effectively hinder opaque practices."
The deputy recalled that this system enables real-time cross-referencing of tax information, "detecting inconsistencies and significantly reducing the margin for hiding income," thus making its contribution to the fight against fraud "clear".
