Based on materials of the ESBU, an enterprise in the Odesa region reimbursed 4.6 million UAH in unpaid taxes to the budge

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Odesa region have completed a pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings related to tax evasion. A company specializing in the wholesale trade of household electrical appliances has fully reimbursed the damages caused to the state.

The basis for entering information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations was analytical products from the Information Analysis and Risk Management Department of the ESBU Territorial Office in the Odesa region.

It was established that the company's director understated VAT tax liabilities by more than UAH 2 million. To achieve this, she failed to reflect part of the business operations in tax reporting.

Furthermore, in the financial statements for 2024 and three quarters of 2025, the person involved did not include UAH14 million of financial assistance, for which the repayment period had expired, as company income. Accordingly, these amounts were also not accounted for in the corporate income tax declarations.

As a result of these actions, over UAH 2.5 million in corporate income tax remained unpaid to the budget.

The total amount of unpaid taxes reached UAH 4.6 million.

Based on the collected evidence, detectives notified the company director of a suspicion under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion).

During the pre-trial investigation, the enterprise voluntarily reimbursed over UAH 4.6 million in unpaid taxes. The funds have already been transferred to the state budget.

Operational support was provided by detectives from the Strategic Economic Protection Department of the ESBU Territorial Office in the Odesa region. Procedural oversight is conducted by prosecutors of the Odesa Regional Prosecutor's Office.
