Valdas Buginskis, head of the selection and support audit department, stated to the Lrytas portal that the department had preliminarily received approximately 2,800 letters from taxpayers in the construction and real estate (RE) sector. Buginskis clarified that these letters do not constitute a report of detected violations, but rather serve as a preventive measure. He explained the rationale behind the correspondence, noting that the letters are dispatched to taxpayers whose declared performance indicators, as analyzed by the VMI, deviate from those of comparable companies operating within the same sector.
According to Buginskis, the VMI continuously analyzes the data submitted by taxpayers. When significant discrepancies are identified when comparing a company’s reported data against industry benchmarks, the department issues these preventive notifications. When questioned about the potential financial impact of working with a single bank, Buginskis responded by suggesting that the taxpayer is well aware of alternative options.
He emphasized that the purpose of the letters is purely prophylactic. The communication signals to the businesses that their reported operational metrics warrant closer examination because they differ substantially from the average performance indicators observed among similar enterprises.
