As reported by BEB, an entrepreneur engaged in the sale of premium Korean cosmetics evaded payment of over UAH 14.4 million in taxes.

The damages caused to the state have been compensated in full.

The investigation established that the suspect was selling cosmetic products through a network of online stores and well-known retail chains.

At the same time, in his tax reporting he reflected only part of the income from the sale of cosmetics. Over UAH 39 million of actually received income remained undeclared.

As a result of such actions, the budget did not receive over UAH 14.4 million in single tax, personal income tax, military levy, and value added tax.

The entrepreneur was notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion in especially large amounts).

During the pre-trial investigation, the entrepreneur fully compensated the damages caused to the state. More than UAH 14.4 million was paid to the budget.

Currently, the criminal proceedings have been sent to court with a motion to release the person from criminal liability on the basis of Part 4 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine due to full compensation of damages.
