Munich (dpa / lby) - Even in the Corona winter 2020, Bavaria's tax authorities will refrain from external audits and other enforcement measures at the turn of the year.

"The Bavarian citizens should not be burdened with measures during the Christmas season, especially in this particularly difficult year, that are perceived as inappropriate during the Christmas season," said Finance Minister Albert Füracker (CSU) on Monday in Munich.

For the period between December 23rd and New Year's, the "Christmas Peace" also applies this year.

Nevertheless, tax assessments would also be sent out during this time, said Füracker. Enforcement measures should only be taken in exceptional cases, for example if there is a risk of tax losses due to the impending statute of limitations. «This kind of courtesy has been contributing to a good relationship between citizens and administration for years. It is an effective contribution to the citizen-friendliness of the financial administration. "
