Мережа секонд-хендів повернула в бюджет понад ₴50 мільйонів несплачених податків

According to Ukrinform, the Office of the Prosecutor General reports about this on Facebook.

"Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office, more than UAH 51.5 million of value added tax unpaid by a network of used goods stores was returned to the state budget," the statement reads.

According to the investigation, during 2023-2025, officials of the second-hand store chain used an artificial business crushing scheme to reduce tax liabilities.

As noted, for this purpose, the sale of used clothes, shoes and other goods in the chain stores was made on behalf of controlled individual entrepreneurs who were on the simplified taxation system.

According to law enforcement officers, formally, retail outlets and transactions for the sale of goods belonged to individual entrepreneurs. At the same time, in fact, the stores were managed by network employees who organized trade and controlled the movement of funds.
