- The Association of Licensed Accountants and Tax Technicians in Chania expresses deep concern over serious issues in the integration of the eSend system with MyData by the Independent Authority of Public Revenues
- After a three-year wait, on December 19, 2024, the data update from eSend to MyData was implemented without prior notification or guidance
- This update resulted in errors in transmission values and document characterizations causing discrepancies between the two systems, increasing confusion and workload for accountants
- There is a lack of clear instructions for correcting erroneous transmissions, leaving no specific direction for managing cases where eSend data was incorrectly transmitted to MyData
- Problems in VAT declarations for businesses with double-entry books have arisen due to duplicate entries in MyData, making correct submission impossible
- The complexity and technical nature of the instructions in the emails sent by the Independent Authority of Public Revenues on December 20, 2024, at 15:59, are too complex for businesses to understand and implement, especially with the large volume of entries that need correction
- There is no official announcement from the Independent Authority of Public Revenues on how to handle these issues as of today
- The occurrence of such problems during the festive season and end of the year, a period marked by high workload for accountants and businesses, exacerbates the already challenging work environment, creating pressure and disruption in the sector
- Immediate intervention by the Independent Authority of Public Revenues is requested to issue clear guidelines on the rejection or cancellation of erroneous transmissions to reduce confusion and cost for professionals
- Initiatives from the Federation and Associations are needed to protect accountants and tax technicians, demanding solutions from responsible entities and preventing similar situations in the future
- The situation adds to the many challenges faced daily by the accounting and tax technician sector, necessitating prompt action by relevant authorities to avoid further dysfunction and ensure smooth business operations
