In matters of the operation of Lutsk's industrial complex, the topic of the Lutsk Automobile Plant remains relevant. \nThus, Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi drew the attention of tax authorities to this issue at a regular operational meeting, noting that an inspection of the enterprise's activities by no means means creating obstacles to its work, in particular, stopping the assembly line. \nAnton Fedorovych once again emphasized the immutability of his position: "Thousands of people and the well-being of the city stand behind this assembly line! And our task is to promote the development of business activity," noted Anton Fedorovych. \nReference: The tax inspection at the Lutsk Automobile Plant lasted from September to the end of December 2003. Deputy Head of the State Tax Administration of Ukraine Yurii Hryb personally took direct part in the inspection. \nIn the second half of December, the main assembly line of LuAZ was stopped for several days due to the failure of the State Tax Administration in the Volyn region to issue the enterprise a certificate on export VAT reimbursement, which was necessary for customs clearance of components at the border. \nBased on the results of the inspection, tax officials initiated a criminal case against the management of LuAZ. The enterprise was obligated to pay underpaid taxes, fees and fines totaling about 90 million US dollars. The case is currently being considered in the courts. \nMost experts link the tax pressure on the enterprise to political motives, since it belongs to the Ukrprominvest concern, which is controlled by Petro Poroshenko. \nThis month, according to planned targets, LuAZ should produce about 2.5 thousand automobiles. \n
