Tax mistreatment of small entrepreneurs
It is a well-known fact that small businesses suffer a disproportionate administrative and tax burden that makes no logical sense whatsoever. This can be seen in many aspects: the virtual non-existence of tax benefits compared to large companies, compliance with all kinds of formal obligations, the impossibility of establishing telephone or face-to-face communication with the tax administration, the insistence of the administration in checking and demanding the provision of record books, copies of invoices and all kinds of documentation, among others.
Concerning all these aspects, and for more detail, you can visit the following link in the economic daily EXPANSIÓN, where Silvia Gabarró, director of the firm GM Tax Consultancy, established in Barcelona, suggests the most controversial and damaging aspects that small businesses face, in their aim to improve competitiveness, despite the legal and administrative difficulties they encounter.
