Transcarpathian tax service did not allow the company with millions of debts to become bankrupt

Suspicion of the tax service was caused by the registration of the two companies at the same address. The first entity – the manufacturer of excisable products – has debts to the budget, the second one – his "mirror image" – is registered to a shill without any debts.

The audit of the manufacturer’s activity showed that over the last two years, its officers, leaving all debts, had been gradually transferring assets, accounting and personnel to its twin. These actions have led to a stable financial insolvency of the manufacturer.

The last step that the offendres had to make to avoid responsibility is to re-register the first manufacturer entity in a different region of Ukraine. At this point they were stopped by the tax service.

The information about the crime under Article 219 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (bankruptcy) has been entered in the Unified registry of pre-trial investigation, investigators of the tax police initiated pre-trial investigation. The perpetrators face the fine of 34 to 51 thousand hryvnias, deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years.
