The company reimbursed over UAH 5 million in taxes following an investigation by the BEB in Kyiv.
This was reported by The Public with reference to the Territorial Administration of the State Bureau of Investigation in Kyiv.
According to the investigation, in 2024, officials of a company engaged in the cultivation of grain and industrial crops reported transactions in their tax returns that were not actually carried out. In particular, these involved the alleged purchase of mineral fertilisers and services for their transportation, which were not actually supplied to the company.
On the basis of these fictitious transactions, the company unjustifiably formed a tax credit for value added tax. This led to an understatement of tax liabilities and non-payment of more than UAH 5 million to the state budget.
The violation was confirmed by an audit report and a tax notification-decision drawn up by employees of the State Tax Service. The company's official was notified of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — tax evasion.
During the investigation, BEB detectives ensured full compensation for the losses. The company paid the entire amount of unpaid taxes to the budget.
A motion has now been filed with the court to release the suspect from criminal liability in connection with the full compensation of damages. The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office is conducting the proceedings in the case.
