By KYIV. Dec 27 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security (BES) of Ukraine have exposed the officials of one of the enterprises that sold grain products in tax evasion in the amount of more than UAH 9 million, the press service of the Bureau reported on Monday.
"The mentioned persons during a certain period carried out financial and economic transactions for the sale of grain products (wheat, barley, corn) to another business entity with signs of a sham. At the same time, the supplier did not register tax invoices for the sale of grain and did not display information about the profit of the enterprise," the BES said.
As a result of such actions, the company’s officials deliberately evaded paying value added tax for a total amount of over UAH 9 million.
As part of the pretrial investigation, an economic study conclusion was obtained confirming the fact of VAT evasion.
"Based on the results of the revealed violation and the established amount of damage caused to the state, the officials of the enterprise agreed with the established violation and repaid the damage caused to the state, namely, they made a payment in the amount of more than UAH 9 million," the Bureau said.
Pretrial investigation of criminal proceedings on the grounds of an offense under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (evasion of taxes, fees, obligatory payments) is carried out by detectives of the Main Detective Unit of the BES under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
