The Bureau of Economic Security referred the case of tax evasion by a grain exporter to the court.

BEB detectives in the Odesa region submitted to the court the materials of the criminal case against the deputy director of one of the grain exporting companies. This is stated on the Bureau of Economic Security website.

The official is accused of willful tax evasion in large amounts. The investigation established that company officials hid information in tax and financial statements. Yes, the company did not specify the object of taxation in the form of agricultural products. This led to the failure to calculate and pay more than UAH 20 million in taxes for 2023.
