IAPR launches intensive audits on livestock subsidies
The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) has recently launched a series of major audits concerning subsidies in the livestock sector. The authority's goal is to determine whether the data declared by producers regarding the number of their animals corresponds to reality.
According to official IAPR data, the average livestock farmer audited had declared owning approximately 322 goats and sheep. Auditors are conducting a full count of the herds in order to confirm that the number of animals reported in subsidy applications is correct.
These audits are part of a broader effort to combat tax evasion and ensure the proper management of European and national funds. The counting process is demanding, as it requires the on-site presence of auditors at livestock units for the physical verification of the livestock capital.
This initiative is expected to continue in the coming months, covering more regions of the country. The authorities emphasize that transparency in subsidies is essential for supporting genuine producers and protecting the public interest.
