The ESBU in the Lviv region ensured the reimbursement of UAH 4.4 million in taxes to the budget

 The detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Lviv region have ensured the recovery of UAH 4.4 million in taxes to the state budget as part of a pre-trial investigation.

The investigation established that between 2022 and 2025, the director of a food industry enterprise, who was responsible for tax reporting, evaded taxes on a significant scale.

The enterprise recorded fictitious transactions in its reports, artificially inflated expenses, and unlawfully claimed VAT tax credits, resulting in an understatement of its tax liabilities.

The suspect was notified of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (evasion of taxes, fees (mandatory payments)).

During the pre-trial investigation, the losses caused to the budget were reimbursed in full. Consequently, a motion was submitted to the court to release the officials from criminal liability.

The procedural supervision in the criminal proceedings was carried out by prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
