The ESBU in Volyn secured reimbursement of UAH 4.5 million by a car importer

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Volyn region have completed a pre-trial investigation into tax evasion. The company, which imports and sells vehicles, has fully reimbursed the damages caused to the state. The criminal case has been sent to court with a motion for release from liability.

The investigation established that between 2022 and 2024, the company director understated tax liabilities for corporate income tax and value-added tax (VAT). He failed to record a portion of business transactions in tax filings.

As a result of these actions, more than UAH 4.5 million was not paid to the state budget.

During the pre-trial investigation, the director admitted to the violations and paid the full amount of unpaid taxes to the budget.

The suspect was served with a notice of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion on a significant scale). The criminal case has been sent to court with a motion to release the individual from criminal liability due to the full reimbursement of damages.

The amount of damages was established based on the results of a documentary audit conducted by employees of the Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in the Volyn Region. Prosecutorial oversight is conducted by the Volyn Regional Prosecutor's Office.
