Sale of cottages for over 27.8 million UAH "tax-free": ESBU sends case against company director to the court

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Lviv region have sent a criminal case to court against a company director exposed for tax evasion. The damages have been reimbursed in full.

The investigation established that the company director carried out the construction and sale of cottages without reflecting these transactions in tax reports.

Upon completion of construction, the properties were not commissioned for operation, yet they were listed for sale online.

Buyers were granted ownership rights only for the land plots, while the houses themselves were not legally transferred as property. Subsequently, the property owners independently arranged for the commissioning of the buildings.

The sales were carried out for cash without being recorded in accounting or tax records.

The total value of the sold properties exceeds 27.8 million UAH. As a result, income tax amounting to over 5 million UAH was not paid to the budget.

The suspect's actions are classified under Part 1 of the Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion).

The case materials have been sent to court with a motion to exempt the individual from criminal liability due to the full restitution of the damages.

Procedural oversight is provided by prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
