The head of the Sumy regional prosecutor's office reported suspicion against the director of a limited liability company, who is also a deputy of the Sumy regional council, for evading the payment of nearly 7.3 million UAH in taxes (part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, the suspect intentionally did not submit corporate income tax declarations for 2021 within the specified timeframe. However, to avoid possible sanctions for their non-submission, in June 2022, he did send the necessary documentation to the tax authorities, but did not pay the corporate income tax. At the same time, he had the financial means to do so, as throughout 2022, the suspect repeatedly transferred funds to the accounts of other business entities and arranged for himself material assistance.

Thus, the director of the LLC evaded the payment of corporate income tax totaling nearly 7.3 million UAH.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted 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 of the Cyber Police Department.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
