Kelheim Man Fined €7,200 for Sham Self-Employment
A man from Kelheim has been fined €7,200 by the Regensburg customs authority for falsifying self-employment. The case, involving a construction company employee, lasted over a year and caused significant social security damage.
The man, a Kosovar national, worked for the construction company three days a week as an employee and two days as supposedly self-employed. Despite being listed as self-employed, his working hours were dictated by the company, and invoices were written by the company itself. He used the company's tools, had no own machines, no own advertising, and no other customers. The sham self-employment resulted in a social security damage of over €100,000.
The financial control unit of the Regensburg Customs Office discovered and clarified the case. They found that the man was working like an employee while being listed as self-employed, which is against the law. The successful clarification is important for maintaining fair competition and protecting social security funds.
The man was fined €7,200 for his actions. The Regensburg Customs Office continues to monitor and clarify such cases to ensure fair competition and protect social security funds.
