The National Police of Ukraine exposed a large -scale corruption scheme of illegal imports of cars, which operated with the participation of employees of the customs service and a number of private companies in the territory of Lviv, Volyn and Rivne regions.
As the editorial office was known 368.Media, pre -trial investigation is carried out within the framework of criminal proceedings under Part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - abuse of power or office, which has caused grave consequences.
The essence of the scheme was the mass importation of cars with deliberately low customs value. Prices in customs declarations were significantly different from market ones, which allowed import companies to avoid full payment of taxes and customs payments. Subsequently, cars were sold in the territory of Ukraine - often for cash and without proper reflection in the financial statements.
The investigation found that the reporting of companies did not correspond to the actual volumes of import and sale, recorded in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices. This indicates a large -scale evasion of income tax. At the same time, the payables of firms increased, although the money from selling cars actually received. Payments with foreign suppliers were either not made at all or were in minimal volumes. In addition, contractual obligations were often performed by third parties not specified in foreign economic agreements, which may indicate withdrawal of funds abroad through false structures.
Upon completion of financial transactions, the company was re-registered for socially vulnerable citizens who do not have a business experience. This complicates the investigation and allows you to cover real beneficiaries.
The received funds were legalized through non -commodity operations - in particular, through a fictitious payment of transport services. According to the SCFM, such actions contributed to the formation of illegal tax credit and the transfer of non -cash funds into shadow circulation. As a result, the state budget has not received large amounts of taxes.
Four importing companies were identified as part of the investigation:
1. Royal Delons LLC (Dubno, EDRPOU 45120778)
