Tax evasion scheme in Gomel

In September 2023, three men in Gomel registered 17 shell companies, listing business activities ranging from computer sales to building demolition, but in reality used them as transportation companies for taxi and passenger services. This mismatch immediately attracted the attention of the tax inspection, and the case materials were forwarded to the Department of Financial Investigations of the KGB.

Jointly with tax authorities, employees of the DFI in the Gomel region exposed a tax evasion scheme in the taxi industry. Key figures of this scheme: total damage to the budget exceeded 3.7 million rubles, over 600 vehicles were involved, and more than 1,100 hired drivers. In reality, legitimate carriers used shell companies to conceal income and avoid taxes.

All case materials are now with law enforcement agencies, and the guilty parties await serious consequences.

Details about the investigation can be found in the new episode of the program "Under the President's Control".
