In Krasnoyarsk, the director and accountant of a company failed to pay taxes by 82 million rubles and got off with a fine

In Krasnoyarsk, a court sentenced the director and accountant of a company for tax evasion. This was reported by the press service of the regional prosecutor's office.

In 2019, the company experienced financial difficulties. Therefore, the 57-year-old director and 37-year-old accountant decided not to cut costs rather than pay taxes.

“From 2019 to 2022, “legendary” information was included in tax returns that the company was actively working with 55 counterparties. The only problem was that these 55 companies existed only on paper: no supplies of fuel or services – a complete “accounting fantasy,” the supervisory agency explained.

Thus, the organization overestimated expenses and received tax deductions to which it was not entitled. As a result, the state lost more than 82 million rubles.

The accountant and the head of the company repented of their actions. The court found them guilty of tax evasion (clauses “a”, “b”, part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and sentenced them to fines: the director – 400 thousand rubles, and the accountant – 300 thousand rubles.

Also, at the request of the prosecutor’s office, the court ordered the recovery of unpaid taxes in the amount of 82 million rubles from the perpetrators.
