Another digital application was presented in the past few days by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), after the recent activation of the control mechanism app "appodixi". The new tool will be called "Elenxislive" and will allow those responsible to carry out on-the-spot and direct checks on professionals and businesses and do different cross-checks, while it will also enable the results of the audit to be communicated immediately to the auditees, in real time.
The auditors of the AADE will have the opportunity to see the financial profile and the tax history of the company, to proceed on the spot and with fast procedures to cross-check data, to check the authenticity or not of the receipts from the cash registers, and to issue sheets and reports on the results of the audit.
The aim is the immediate detection and certification of any violations in the context of the digitalization of controls for the effective fight against tax evasion by the AADE. as well as the upgrading of services to citizens by reducing unnecessary bureaucracy and time to process their cases. Through the ElenxisLive platform, it is envisaged that the AADE auditors will be able to detect and certify violations in real time.
