It is intended to streamline inspections of taxpayers by regulatory and law enforcement agencies in order to limit the number of inspections of the same taxpayer. According to the head of the legal department of the Federal Tax Police Service, Ilya Kucherov, often the same taxpayer is alternately inspected by several regulatory authorities within a short period of time. He explained this by the fact that with the existing interaction of the tax police, for example, with the Ministry of Taxation and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tax police authorities often do not have the opportunity to use the materials obtained as a result of their audits. The creation of a database of taxpayer audits will increase the level of awareness of committed offenses for government agencies, as well as eliminate duplication of actions of regulatory and law enforcement agencies in relation to the same taxpayer.
