Based on ESBU materials in the Poltava region, the company reimbursed almost 5.8 million UAH of unpaid taxes

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Poltava region have secured the reimbursement of nearly UAH 5.8 million in Value Added Tax to the state budget, which the enterprise had intentionally failed to pay.

The investigation established that the head of a Poltava-based company operating in the wholesale trade of fuel components had been developing a tax evasion scheme over the course of two years.

The official documented fictitious business operations, creating only the appearance of legal activity and artificially understating the company's tax liabilities.

As a result of these actions, nearly UAH 5.8 million in VAT was not paid to the budget.

Based on the collected evidence, the official of the company was notified of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — intentional tax evasion. The case has been referred to the court with an indictment.

During the pre-trial investigation, the damages caused to the state were reimbursed in full.

Procedural guidance is carried out by the Poltava Regional Prosecutor's Office.
