Detectives of the Territorial Department ESBU in Volyn region exposed officials of one of the region's enterprises in tax evasion on a particularly large scale.

The company's core business is the production of ready-to-use concrete solutions and the construction of power supply and telecommunications facilities.

The pre-trial investigation established that in 2021, while carrying out construction and repair of roads in Volyn region the company's officials intentionally evaded paying income taxes. In particular, based on the results of financial and economic activities the company failed to prepare and file a corporate income tax return for 2021 in a timely manner. However, as the detectives of the ESBU found out the company had enough funds in its current accounts to pay taxes.

Based on the results of the measures taken by the detectives of the ESBU in the framework of criminal proceedings, in May 2023, the company's officials submitted a corporate income tax return for 2021 to the State tax inspectorate in Volyn region in which they declared more than UAH 7.5 million to be paid. These funds were transferred to the state budget.

The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings on the grounds of a criminal offense under Part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion, duties (mandatory payments) in especially large amounts) was conducted by detectives of the Territorial Department ESBU in Volyn region under the procedural supervision of prosecutors of the Volyn regional Prosecutor's office.
