In the Vinnytsia region, an enterprise reimbursed over 7.6 million UAH in damages caused to the state budget

 Officials of a company specializing in the sale of household appliances and electrical goods used a number of illegal schemes to conceal actual income and evade paying taxes. The illegal activity was exposed by detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Vinnytsia region. Currently, the materials of the proceedings have been sent to court.

One of the methods of tax evasion was the artificial splitting of the business. During 2024–2025, the company documented the sale of goods through controlled individual entrepreneurs who did not actually conduct their own business. In this way, the company distributed its revenue among them, concealed real sales volumes, and reduced the amount of VAT it had to pay to the budget.

The company also concealed part of the income by not including bad accounts payable to counterparties in its composition. This led to an understatement of the financial result before taxation and the amount of corporate income tax. In addition, data on actually carried-out operations of selling goods were deliberately not included in the declarations.

As a result of such actions, over 7.6 million UAH in corporate income tax and value-added tax did not enter the state budget.

The actions of the officials are qualified under Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion on a large scale). Thanks to the collected evidence, the damages caused to the budget were reimbursed in full.

The criminal proceedings have been sent to the court.

Operational support is carried out by employees of the Cybercrime Counteraction Department in the Vinnytsia region of the Cyberpolice Department. Procedural guidance – Vinnytsia Regional Prosecutor's Office.

According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict.
