Tax authorities are too eager to block taxpayers’ accounts

From 1 January to 31 May, tax authorities blocked 52 bank accounts, of which over 86% for up to three months. This was justified by the fear of tax fraud. However, the latest judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court shows that the activities of the treasury are exaggerated and are not supported by law. At the same time, there is an issue of the principle of trust and acting with due professional care.
