Kirov construction material sellers were suspected of tax evasion amounting to 19.5 million.

      A criminal case under Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (evasion of large-scale tax payments) has been initiated by the third department for the investigation of particularly important cases of the regional Investigative Committee. The reason for this was the materials provided by the Federal Tax Service for the Kirov region.

      According to the investigation, the company, whose main activity is the trade of building materials, used a scheme to inflate tax deductions from 2023 to 2024. Expenses accounted for in the calculation of value-added tax were artificially increased in the declarations. As a result of such manipulations, the amount of unpaid taxes exceeded 19.5 million rubles.

      Investigators have already begun active investigative actions. They are establishing the exact circumstances of the concealment of funds from the tax authority, as well as the circle of involved persons. The investigation is ongoing.
