Analysts of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine identified a number of companies that did not show value added tax in their tax returns. These companies are recipients of budget funds.
In order to initiate control and verification measures regarding the activities of the mentioned legal entities the employees of the ESBU sent letters of recommendation to the address of the State Tax Service of Ukraine.
As a result three business entities submitted clarifying calculations to the State Tax Administration and paid taxes in the amount of UAH 43.5 million.
According to other established facts of alleged violations, unscheduled inspections are currently scheduled in accordance with the ESBU's recommendation letters.
It will be recalled that during 2023, the ESBU prevented the embezzlement of UAH 8.8 billion of state funds. Of them:
- UAH 2.1 billion - unlawful reimbursement of value added tax (VAT) was prejudiced;
- UAH 1.5 billion - embezzlement was not allowed during tender procedures in the budgetary sphere;
-UAH 5.2 billion - biased distribution of risky VAT tax credit.
