Based on materials from the ESBU, an industrial company reimbursed nearly UAH 5 million in unpaid taxes to the budget

 Detectives from the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Odesa region secured compensation of almost UAH 5 million in losses to the state. The company, which specializes in the manufacture of concrete structures for the defense sector, returned the funds to the budget.

A pre-trial investigation was launched on the basis of an analytical report prepared by the specialists of the ESBU. It was established that during 2024, the director of the company included in the reporting on tax credits and gross expenses amounts of funds for non-existent and undocumented financial and economic transactions with two companies. This led to an understatement of value-added tax and corporate income tax payable to the budget in the total amount of almost UAH 5 million. The amount of damage caused to the state was confirmed by the conclusion of a forensic economic examination.

The head of the enterprise has been notified of suspicion of intentional tax evasion on an especially large scale under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion on an especially large scale). The criminal proceedings have been referred to court.

The proceedings are being conducted by prosecutors from the Odesa Regional Prosecutor's Office.
