In Lviv, a company reimbursed over UAH 13 million of unpaid taxes and other mandatory payments to the budget under the procedural supervision of prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
According to the investigation, in 2022, the head of the company, whose main activities are wholesale and retail food trade, evaded payment of personal income tax, military duty and a single social contribution.
According to official reports, the company’s employees received low salaries. In reality, however, they were actually paid a much higher salary, which would have meant that they had to pay more taxes and other mandatory payments.
As a result, the budget did not receive over UAH 13 million in total.
In the course of the pre-trial investigation, the head of the business entity was served a notice of suspicion. She is charged with large-scale tax evasion, duties (mandatory payments), as well as evasion of payment of a single contribution to the obligatory state social insurance in particularly large amounts (Article 212(2) and 212-1(3) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The suspect pleaded guilty to the alleged crimes and fully compensated the losses caused to the state.
Following the investigation, the prosecution case was submitted to court.
The pre-trial investigation was carried out by detectives of the Territorial Department of the Bureau of Economic Security in Lviv region.
Note: In accordance with Article 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 court verdict.
