The utilization of the data from the Digital Customer Registry by AADE has contributed decisively to the targeted selection of audit cases in businesses active in the sectors of vehicle repair and maintenance, vehicle and spare parts trade, transport, parking, washing, painting, and other related activities.

In 2025, 949 targeted audits were carried out based on data from the Digital Customer Registry.

• Violations were found in 505 businesses, with a non-compliance rate of 53.2%, with the total number of violations reaching 5,882.

• Specifically, 1,095 violations for non-transmission of receipts, 1,026 violations for non-issuance or inaccurate issuance of receipts/invoices, 4 violations for failure to present records, and 3,753 other violations were recorded.

• The total concealed value exceeded 100,000 euros.

• In addition, in the sectors connected with the vehicle and transport ecosystem, 2 suspensions of operation were recorded in wholesale and retail trade and repair businesses of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and 2 suspensions of operation in land transport businesses.

The utilization of the data from the Digital Customer Registry continues this year as well, with even more targeted audit action in the automotive and transport sectors. Specifically, 1,145 audits have already been carried out, of which violations were found in 693, with an average non-compliance rate of 60.5%.

Specifically, the following were found:

• 2,552 violations in the sector of repair and maintenance of motor vehicles and motorcycles

• 3,474 violations in transport support activities

• 91 violations in the retail trade of motor vehicles and spare parts

• 33 violations in the wholesale trade of motor vehicles and spare parts

• 81 violations in car rental and

• 61 violations in passenger land transport.

Overall, in the sectors directly connected with the automotive and transport ecosystem, 6,292 violations were found, while the imposed fines reached 500,000 euros.

At the same time, a two-day closure was imposed on twelve businesses.

The results of the two years confirm that the Digital Customer Registry constitutes an essential tool for risk analysis and targeted selection of cases for audit, strengthening tax compliance and contributing to the more effective tackling of tax evasion.
