At the beginning of the year, several people were stopped for road checks conducted by the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV), for example, the Hajdú-Bihar county citizen found illegal metal waste with three men.
NAV told MTI on Monday that NAV staff had stopped cars that were loaded with metal waste at the nearby metal merchant site. “The drivers were about to dispose of household waste, but during the checks, it turned out that over the past three years, they had been releasing waste of several tons of metal,” they wrote.
The inspection also revealed that a lot of metal waste was not produced in their household, but received for work and then sold for financial benefits.
The perpetrators can expect a fine of hundreds of thousands of forints against them for a metal trade offense, he added.
According to metal trade rules, a natural person can store up to three cubic meters of metal on his property, those that are formed by his property.
The acquisition of the metal waste received in exchange for the consideration is considered to be a purchase, they wrote.
