Romania
I saw a file today about someone who sold products worth $500 through a courier. ANAF (Romanian IRS) contacted the courier company and obtained the list of all sellers, so yeah they like to mess with people who sold a few 10$ products online. This person received the money via Revolut, but obviously, the romanian IRS they didn't have the data through CRS. So, they asked him to provide his bank statement "to save time" and not make it harder for them to inquire them from revolut and have his account also closed maybe. . What actually happened? Can ANAF (Romaniam IRS) not read the data received from CRS, or is it possible that Lithuanian IRS is not sending it? What could explain this situation?

It's difficult to judge of course; but Lithuania sends CRS data to Romania for sure, Lithuanian institutions are really very active in the last time. You do not say when all this happened; it is so that CRS reports are sent only once per year and they concern the previous year, hence hypothetically, RO taxmen could had gotten the data from the courier company before they received the CRS reports.
 
It happened just a few months ago, and it was for the sales he did last year. they basically "raided" him for 500$, lol , not even profit;) but without him having documents for the stuff he sold he will be taxed as he produced those cloths and shoes himself ;)))

This is fully in-line with other stories that I have heard about RO taxmen recently :(

Same way most tax authorities works. They get a some sort of information and the rest they ask you to provide to make things easier for your self. What they really hope is that you give them more than what you asked for so they can open up for even a bigger hunt.
