The ESBU in the Vinnytsia region secures the recovery of UAH 4.6 million in unpaid taxes

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Vinnytsia region have completed a pre-trial investigation into intentional tax evasion by an enterprise specializing in the wholesale trade of chemical products and mineral fertilizers. The damages caused to the state have been recovered in full.

The investigation established that between 2019 and 2025, the company’s director committed a series of tax violations. Specifically, the director included the costs of works and services in expenses without proper documentation and understated tax liabilities for goods whose physical presence could not be confirmed.

As a result of these actions, the budget failed to receive UAH 4.6 million in corporate income tax and value-added tax (VAT).

During the pre-trial investigation, the individual fully admitted guilt and reimbursed the state for the damages. Consequently, a motion has been submitted to the court to release the individual from criminal liability.

The Vinnytsia Regional Prosecutor's Office is providing procedural guidance in the case.

This proceeding is part of a systemic effort to shadow-proof the region’s economy. Overall, as part of investigations into tax evasion crimes in the Vinnytsia region this year, ESBU detectives have secured the recovery of damages totaling nearly UAH 30 million, representing 100% of the established losses in the relevant cases.
