Kavalkou said that information about the freeloaders found thia way will be sent to the local and tax authorities. And they in turn will send messages to the freeloaders urging them to pay the tax.

Lawyer Tamara Sidarenka believes that it will be almost impossible to avoid the "freeloading" tax. "Right now, we have a high level of computerization in the tax services. It is very difficult to hide. There is mandatory registration. I think it will be difficult to avoid paying tax," said the lawyer.
