The ESBU in Volyn ensured the reimbursement of over UAH 4.5 million in fees from a local developer

 Detectives from the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Volyn region have completed a pre-trial investigation into tax evasion during real estate transactions.

It was established that a resident of the Lutsk district organized the construction of residential properties in the Lutsk city community between 2022 and 2024 and sold them to individuals.

He registered the actual transfer of the completed buildings as the sale of land plots, without declaring the real estate objects and paying the taxes required by law.

As a result of these actions, the man evaded payment of more than UAH 4.5 million in personal income tax and military tax.

During the pre-trial investigation, detectives from the Regional Office ensured full compensation for the losses incurred by the state.

The suspect has been notified of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional evasion of taxes in significant amounts). The criminal proceedings were referred to the court with a request to release the suspect from criminal liability in connection with the full compensation of the damage caused on the basis of Part 4 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The proceedings were conducted by prosecutors from the Volyn Regional Prosecutor's Office.
