In order to combat illegal trafficking of goods and services, the Republic Market Inspection Service conducted an operation in the past month during evening hours in hospitality establishments, nightclubs, and discotheques, aimed at inspecting invoice issuance and transaction recording.
Out of a total of 64 conducted inspections, only four were in compliance, while in 60 cases inspectors found that the business entities did not issue invoices properly for the sold goods or provided services, for which they were fined in the amount of BAM 57,000.
Businesses that do not issue receipts are disloyal competition to those who respect the law and meet their obligations. Considering that the summer tourist season is ongoing and that there is increased activity in establishments providing hospitality and tourism services, the Market Inspection Service will continue intensified efforts in the upcoming period as part of implementing measures to combat the informal economy.
