Fine and ban on leadership roles for tax evasion scheme: Kyiv court delivers verdict

 Based on the materials provided by the detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in Kyiv, a court found a man guilty of organizing a tax evasion scheme. The suspect was fined and banned from holding leadership positions.

According to the investigation, the manager intentionally conspired with currently unidentified individuals. By failing to record financial and economic transactions with several individual entrepreneurs in the company's tax and accounting records, the enterprise evaded paying VAT amounting to UAH 9.7 million, which constitutes a particularly large-scale evasion.

Based on the collected evidence, detectives notified the company director of suspicion under Part 3 of the Act. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion).

During the pre-trial investigation, the company voluntarily reimbursed the unpaid taxes, and the funds have already been transferred to the budget.

The criminal proceedings were referred to the court. The court found the director guilty of tax evasion on an especially large scale. He was sentenced to a fine and a one-year ban on holding leadership positions.

Prosecutorial guidance was provided by the Prosecutor General's Office.
