In the Vinnytsia region, ESBU detectives ensured the reimbursement of 4 million UAH of unpaid taxes

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Vinnytsia region have completed a pre-trial investigation into the intentional tax evasion by the director of a company engaged in the retail trade of food, beverages, and tobacco products through its own chain of supermarkets.

The investigation established that the head of the enterprise wrote off spoiled goods but failed to accrue Value Added Tax in the process. This approach allowed for the artificial reduction of tax liabilities and resulted in the non-payment of over UAH 4 million in VAT to the budget.

During the pre-trial investigation under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding the intentional tax evasion on a significant scale, the company director fully reimbursed the damages caused to the state.

The criminal proceedings have been referred to the court with a motion to release the individual from criminal liability.

Procedural guidance is carried out by the Vinnytsia Regional Prosecutor's Office.
