Despite the high -profile statements of the head of the parliamentary committee on finance, Danylo Hetmantsev about the fight against the "gray" electronics market, large -scale tax evasion schemes in Ukraine continue to work smoothly. And while the budget loses tens of billions of hryvnias every year, stores, such as Yabko, Avic and IPeople, open up new sales points and expand quietly.
The key part of the scheme is fictitious individuals-entrepreneurs. In the case of the Yabko network, we are talking about at least 300 related FOPs, designed for third parties. The turnover is specially ground into small amounts, so as not to cross the line, after which a full tax burden begins. At the same time, the actual circulation of companies can reach hundreds of millions of hryvnias.
Another "gray" zone is cryptocurrency. In stores, customers are directly offered to pay for bits or air. QR codes for transfers are generated in place, and therefore no traces in the banking system. The alternative is to drop the money directly on the employee's bank card. All these flows are then "washed" through cryptocurrencies and are often brought abroad for real estate, car or corporate rights.
The third component is the smuggling of equipment. It is imported "in black", without payment of customs payments. In the process, according to insiders, customs and border guards are involved. With assistance in the passage of parties, the amount of bribes ranges from $ 50 to $ 200 per unit, depending on the volume of cargo.
Although recently there have been reports of searches on these networks, this has not stopped their development. New stores continue to appear, and tax reporting is to remain "clean" thanks to hundreds of false entrepreneurs.
Danilo Getmantsev has repeatedly called the "gray" electronics market one of the key areas of budget losses. But so far the state looks only an observer - market players strengthen positions, and shadow profits continue to settle in private pockets.
