The Sumy Regional Prosecutor's Office has approved and sent to court an indictment against the director of a limited liability company for evading the payment of 7.3 million UAH in taxes. 

According to the investigation, the accused, who is a deputy of the Sumy Regional Council and the head of the enterprise, knowingly failed to submit tax declarations for income tax for the first half and three quarters of 2021 within the established deadlines, despite being aware of the results of the activities of the enterprise he heads and the obligation to submit tax declarations. 

Later, in June 2022, in order to avoid possible sanctions, he submitted the necessary documentation to the tax service, but did not pay the taxes. At the same time, the accused had the financial means to pay the taxes, as throughout 2022 he repeatedly transferred funds to the accounts of other business entities and arranged for himself material assistance.

The actions of the accused have been qualified as tax evasion (part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). 

The pre-trial investigation was completed by investigators of the Investigative Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Sumy region with operational support from the Cybercrime Prevention Department in the Sumy region under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office.
