Nowhere in the (developed) world would the tax authority start garnishing without a notice first -- mostly because they might be in error. And yes, they did take more than their due, more than once.
- jacquesm 8y agoThat's not very nice of them. If I were in the receiving position on an action like that I'd take them to court. Let's hope that kind of behavior won't be the norm. But I wish the Hungarian Data Protection Authority much good luck trying such tactics against other EU companies, it will most likely not play out how they think it will. I recall a case of the Irish tax authority trying to fine EU companies for failure to pay VAT, that blew up pretty badly for them, and in the end it turned out they themselves had fucked up. Since then they've been well behaved. I've tried to find a citation for that particular case but can't find it. I own one of the companies that got fined.
