Q: Can the government investigate the small money transfers my friends send me via mobile phone?
A: Although small and sporadic payments to share expenses like a dinner among friends aren't usually problematic, banks are obliged to monitor and report any suspicious movement to the tax authorities. If you receive constant and repetitive income, the bank's anti-fraud alarms could go off.

Q: From what exact amount of money does the bank automatically notify the authorities of my movements?
A: Financial institutions have the unavoidable legal obligation to automatically notify any operation, transfer, or movement of funds that exceeds ten thousand euros. However, don't be overconfident, because multiple transactions of smaller amounts that add up to high figures in a short time are also routinely investigated.

Q: Do I have to declare the extra money I earn by selling used items online on my taxes?
A: It depends on the volume and intent. If it's a one-off sale of a personal item below its purchase price, it doesn't generate a capital gain. But if you buy and sell items regularly with the clear intention of making a monthly profit, it's considered an economic activity that you must legally declare.

Q: What financial fines can be imposed on me if I don't adequately justify the constant income in my bank account?

Depending on the seriousness of the infraction and the amount hidden, authorities can demand the payment of fines ranging between 50% and 150% of all the money you haven't legally declared.
