A maritime enterprise in Ukraine avoided paying taxes for 8.6 million


The enterprise, which provides services in the field of water transport maintenance in the ports of Ukraine, avoided paying taxes in the period from 2021 to 2023.

The Bureau of Economic Security  exposed the management of a maritime enterprise that evaded payment of taxes in particularly large amounts.

The company that provides services in the field of water transport maintenance in the ports of Ukraine in the period from 2021 to 2023 avoided paying taxes to the state budget.

The director of the company was informed about the suspicion. The official transferred the sea vessel for paid use to other companies, without paying taxes on the rent received.

“Such actions were carried out in violation of the legal restrictions on the disposal of a sea vessel, which was imported into the territory of Ukraine under the customs regime of “temporary importation”, with the use of benefits for the payment of customs payments,” the department reported.

Thus, about 8.6 million hryvnias of taxes did not reach the budget.
