ESBU detectives expose a jewelry enterprise in the Vinnytsia region for over UAH 11 million in tax evasion

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Vinnytsia region have completed a pre-trial investigation into the intentional tax evasion by officials of a jewelry manufacturing enterprise. The damages caused have been fully reimbursed to the state budget.

The investigation established that during 2023–2024, the enterprise exceeded the established income limit for the simplified taxation system. According to the law, in such cases, a business entity must switch to the general taxation system independently. However, the company's management ignored this requirement and continued to use the simplified system.

As a result of these actions, over UAH 11 million in taxes failed to reach the state budget. During the pre-trial investigation into the intentional tax evasion on an especially large scale (Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), the damages were fully reimbursed.

Consequently, the case files have been referred to the court with a motion to be released from criminal liability. Operational support was provided by the SSU Office in the Vinnytsia region, with procedural guidance from the Vinnytsia Regional Prosecutor's Office.
