Car importer in Volyn pays over UAH 4.5m in back taxes

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Volyn region have concluded a pretrial investigation into a tax evasion case. A private enterprise engaged in car imports has fully reimbursed the damages caused to the state.

According to the investigation, the company's deputy director, who was responsible for bookkeeping, failed to report more than UAH 25 million in income in the tax filings.

Based on an analytical study conducted by ESBU specialists in the Volyn region, it was established that the enterprise evaded corporate income tax amounting to over UAH 4.5 million.

During the pretrial investigation, the enterprise voluntarily reimbursed the unpaid tax liabilities to the state budget in full. The funds have already been credited to the budget.

The official has been notified of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion in significant amounts).

Due to the full reimbursement of the damages caused to the state, a motion has been filed with the court to release the individual from criminal liability based on Part 4 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The Volyn Regional Prosecutor's Office is providing prosecutorial oversight.
