Developer in Lviv Evades Paying Taxes Amounting to 5 Million UAH

In Lviv, a company director has been exposed for organising a scheme to evade corporate income tax. According to the investigation, throughout 2025, he was involved in the construction of identical cottages. The completed houses were not officially commissioned and were sold through online platforms, keeping the profits “in the shadows”.

In reality, buyers were only sold the land plots, and documents were drawn up as if construction was just beginning. The new owners independently completed the documentation and commissioned the properties. Additionally, payments for the cottages were made in cash — without being recorded in accounting and tax records.

Thus, the director sold 8 cottages with a total value of over 27 million UAH, without declaring the income in tax reports. This resulted in the non-payment of over 5 million UAH in income tax. During the pre-trial investigation, the damages were fully compensated.

Prosecutors from the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office have petitioned the court to release the individual from criminal liability. The pre-trial investigation was conducted by detectives from the Territorial Department of the Bureau of Economic Security in the Lviv region.
