The Sofia Administrative Court annulled the seizures of Vasil Bozhkov’s “New Games” company, imposed by the National Revenue Agency. These are seized bank accounts, deposits, belongings and money in vaults, amounts from fiduciary management in a bank, as well as 16 cars. The court’s decision is final, reported banker.bg.
The NRA imposed these seizures on the basis of the two laws for BGN 273,150 million, issued by the State Gaming Commission and presented as a liability to the state. The tax authorities have requested a lien in the amount of BGN 27.6 million as collateral for a future claim.
The second decision refers to a decree imposing preliminary precautionary measures, issued by a public executor. This is a guarantee of BGN 22.5 million. The seizure was imposed on the basis of the unpaid corporate tax of “New Games”.
“First, the date the review order was issued almost coincided with the date the injunction request was issued. The applicant’s argument that the audit authorities were unable to determine the amount alleged within a few days of the liability, as well as the existence of previous conditions that make it difficult or impossible to collect the credit; the request has a blank content and is not motivated; there is no analysis and specific data from which the claim can be justified. conclusion that the amount of the alleged liabilities The defendant has not provided evidence that, on the date of issuance of the procedural decree, actions have been taken to gather evidence in the course of the assigned audit, that is, it has not been established what initial data the tax authorities had before the assignment of the audit regarding the alleged liabilities of the company, as well as what are the recently created facts and circumstances Beginning after the audit assignment. The only reason for the request for the imposition of preliminary precautionary measures is that there is a significant discrepancy between the reported sales income and this will give rise to additional tax obligations amounting to BGN 22,528,044. It is not supported by evidence, ”the magistrates said.
The court decision also says that there is no evidence whether the seizure of the bank accounts at these commercial banks was imposed, because the case only contains evidence of the sending of the seizure notice, but there is no evidence that the seizure was actually imposed.
“The director of the TD of the NRA has not taken into account whether the precautionary measure is adequate and whether it corresponds to the precautionary need, respectively whether it corresponds to both the presumed obligation and whether the amounts seized do not significantly exceed the precautionary need / the amount presumed obligation / ”, indicates in the judicial decision.
In March, the New Games company, through which Bozhkov operated the National Lottery, petitioned the Sofia City Court to declare it insolvent and bankrupt. It is clear from the company’s application to the court that the company cannot make any payments, since all its bank accounts have been seized by order of the National Revenue Agency.
The lottery was left without a gaming license after deliberate changes to the Gaming Law and the activity of offering “lucky tickets” was transferred to the state lottery.
The state is taking action against the businessman hiding in Dubai after signals from his former business partners and owners of the “Efbet” Naidenov brothers for 700 million BGN in unpaid installments to the treasury of their gambling companies.
Bozhkov was charged with various charges, including influence peddling, possession and expropriation of cultural and historical values that were not duly registered, leading a criminal group by coercion, extortion, attempted bribery of an official, incitement to crimes in compliance with the duty, as well as incitement to the murder of four people and rape.
Asked by “24 Chasa”, the NRA stated that they would not comment on the court’s decision for now.
