Drones Reveal Widespread Tax Evasion In Argentina

Posted by timothy on from the don't-cry-for-them dept.

Tailhook (98486) writes "The Argentine government has used drones to reveal 200 homes and 100 pools in an upper class area about ten miles south of Buenos Aires that had not been detailed on tax returns. Tax officials said the drones took pictures of luxury houses standing on lots registered as empty. The evasions found by the drones amounted to missing tax payments of more than $2 million and owners of the properties have been warned they now face large fines."

    Yea, I kinda want a 20x30 rollup "roof" or "pool" that I can put out on poles or roll out on the ground.

    Then put them away after google shows I've added a room or pool.

    he he.
