Grain exporter who caused millions in losses to be tried in Odesa region

The BES exposed an exporting company that deliberately evaded paying taxes in a significant amount. The company tried to export agricultural products to China through the ports of Odesa region.

According to the Territorial Department of the Bureau of Economic Security, the company's employees, who were engaged in the export of agricultural products, failed to declare transactions for the purchase of soybeans, wheat and barley, which led to a shortfall of more than UAH 27 million in the state budget.

According to the investigation, the company planned to export these products through the ports of Odesa region to China. The company's financial director has already been notified of suspicion, and the losses to the state have been compensated in full. The case has now been submitted to court with an indictment.

Such a crime is punishable by a fine of up to UAH 425 thousand with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years with confiscation of property.

Before that, the financial director of a company in Odesa region decided to "save" on export taxes. Through her fraud, she avoided paying almost UAH 100 million to the budget, for which she will now have to answer in court.

Another financial director of a company in Odesa region will be brought to trial for tax evasion. Thanks to his scheme, the exporting company owed the state more than UAH 19 million, for which the detainee will be held accountable.

Also in Odesa region, the SBU exposed an agricultural export company that had been evading taxes for some time. Such actions caused damage to the state budget in the amount of over UAH 12 million.

In addition, the BES detectives completed a pre-trial investigation into the intentional tax evasion on a particularly large scale by a company exporting agricultural products, namely wheat and corn.
