The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine has uncovered a tax evasion scheme in Vinnytsia Oblast by a household chemicals manufacturer. According to investigation data, more than 61 million hryvnias were not received by the budget and state social funds.
The BEB did not name the enterprise, but it is a company whose ownership structure previously had a Russian trace. According to the investigation, during 2022–2024, officials concealed the real volumes of activity and submitted unreliable tax reports.
“An enterprise with a Russian trace in its ownership structure evaded paying more than 61 million hryvnias in taxes and a single social contribution”, the BEB noted.
Detectives from the BEB territorial department in Vinnytsia Oblast established that some of the operations for the sale of products on the territory of Ukraine were not reflected in the reporting. This allowed understating tax liabilities. In addition, the company illegally formed a tax credit and did not pay taxes, fees and a single social contribution in full when paying salaries to employees.
“Detectives established that among the beneficiaries of the company there was previously a company associated with the Russian Federation. Therefore, part of its financial resources could be controlled by persons associated with the aggressor state,” BEB noted.
Currently, the losses caused to the state have been compensated in full. More than 61 million hryvnias in taxes and a single social contribution have been paid to the budget. The procedural management is carried out by prosecutors of the Vinnytsia Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
