The director of a bankrupt furniture company will be held accountable in court for possible value added tax (VAT) fraud and fraudulent accounting.
Such a decision was made by the Šiauliai Regional Prosecutor’s Office after the pre-trial investigation carried out by the Šiauliai and Panevėžys Regional Boards of the Financial Crimes Investigation Service (FNTT), reports FNNT.
During the investigation, the Service officials discovered that the director of a company located in Šiauliai that produced furniture had established a confusing scheme to avoid taxes payable to the state. Fictitious transactions were recorded in the company’s accounts, alleging the purchase of fabrics, hardware or other accessories necessary for production, when in reality such transactions were not carried out and up to 10 of the companies from which the materials were allegedly purchased they do not carry out any activity.
In doing so, Šiauliai is estimated to have paid no more than € 170,000 in state taxes, more than € 99,000 in VAT and almost € 71,000 in corporate income tax in two years. He was charged with fraudulent accounting and fraud in avoiding a high-value property obligation. This is not the first meeting of a company director with officials, a person is already being tried in another case for similar crimes.
The pre-trial investigation was organized and controlled by the Prosecutor of the First Prosecution Division of the Šiauliai Regional Prosecutor’s Office. After the indictment was drawn up, the case was transferred to court.
The FNTT recalls that fraud to evade a high-value property obligation or to acquire high-value foreign property is punishable by the most severe prison sentence of up to eight years. Fraudulent accounting is severely punishable by up to four years in prison.
