The Court of Auditors determined that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has not received a total of 21 million 368 thousand 544,48 TL tax in 2017, but it has not been convinced by the Ministry's response!
The taxes of the entertainment industry cannot be collected! Taxes collected from minimum wage to last penny cannot be collected from the entertainment sector where horse racing, sports competitions, concerts, theater, ballet and cinema are in! According to the report of the Court of Accounts, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the entertainment sector only in 2017 21 million 368 thousand 544 TL tax was revealed that the tax could not be collected!
The Court of Auditors informed the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the situation and said that the taxes were not in their right to collect and audit, and that the necessary actions were taken by the Ministry of Finance and relevant municipalities. However, The Court of Auditors, which is not satisfied by the Ministry's response, gave the following assessment in the report: In the annex of the findings, it was seen that the correspondence of the ministry with other institutions was general. However, the ministry receives detailed reports from the cinema distribution companies on this issue. In these reports, it is found out which saloon in the movie, in the district, in the province, how much revenue is obtained in the province. On the other hand, the amount transferred to the head office is also known by the Ministry. Therefore, by comparing the amount of the cinema proceeds and the amount transferred to the central accountant, it is necessary to determine the where and how the missing taxes are made and to inform the municipality about the Ministry of Finance and follow-up.
