Tax Authority officials launched an auditing operation in locations such as Petach Tikva, Rosh Haayin, Ariel, and Yehud. 209 businesses were audited.
It was found that 10% of inspected businesses did not declare income as legally required. One computer software and electronics company was found to have transferred over 300,000 dollars through PayPal accounts. A company representative explained that “We do not issue receipts, but rather Microsoft Excel documents.”
