Prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office ensured UAH 6 million of unpaid tax to the budget.
The investigation established that the head of the company, whose main activity is wholesale and retail trade in food and beverages, deliberately failed to reflect in the accounting and tax reports transactions for the first quarter of this year. In particular, the transactions related to the sale of inventory to other business entities for a total amount of over UAH 33 million.
Thus, as a result of not including the aforementioned income in the taxable object, the company failed to pay income tax by UAH 6 million.
As part of the pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings, the suspects have compensated the losses in full. Therefore, the prosecutors filed a motion to the court to release him from criminal liability over the fact of intentional tax evasion (Part 4 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The pre-trial investigation was conducted by detectives of the Territorial Department of the Economic Security Bureau in Lviv region.
Note: In accordance with Art. 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and shall not be subjected to criminal punishment until his or her guilt is proved in accordance with the law and established by a guilty verdict.
