UAH 2 million 400 thousand is to be recovered to the budget from the company which evaded taxes

Transcarpathian District Administrative Court supported the arguments of the regional prosecutor’s office about absence of violations of the law in the tax field during the adjudicating on the appeal of tax notices-decisions. The prosecutors of the region took part in the trial of this case in the interest of the state represented by the tax authority. In the court, it was proved that the company, being on a simplified system of taxation, had exceeded the permissible volume of taxable transactions, which entailed an obligation to pay the relevant taxes. In order to avoid the payment of these taxes, the entrepreneur appealed the actions of the tax authority in court. Following the adjudicating of this case, it was decided to reject the claim of the entrepreneur to the tax office on the abolition of tax notices-decisions for a total amount of UAH 2 million 398 thousand. The court concluded that the arguments of the prosecutors were grounded and recognized the actions of the tax authority legitimate. Therefore, the said amount of value-added tax and income tax shall be recovered to the budget.
