An indictment has been sent to court against the director of the enterprise that supplied coal to the Trypilska TPP. He is suspected of evading payment of over UAH 24 million in value-added tax. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General, according to UNN.
Details
"Prosecutors of the Office of the Prosecutor General have sent an indictment to court against the director of the enterprise that supplied coal to PJSC "Centrenergo" for the operation of the Trypilska TPP - a power plant that generates electricity for the central part of Ukraine," the post states.
According to the investigation, in January-February 2024, the enterprise received funds from "Centrenergo" as an advance payment for coal and payment for its delivery. In such a case, the law obliges to accrue and declare value-added tax (VAT).
However, as the investigation established, VAT tax liabilities were not reflected in the reporting.
"As a result, over UAH 24.1 million did not enter the budget, which, according to the legislation, is a particularly large amount," the OGP stated.
"The actions of the accused are qualified as intentional evasion of tax payment by an official of the enterprise, which led to the non-receipt of funds by the budget in a particularly large amount (Part 3, Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The case will be considered by the court," the post says.
Recall
The Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, together with the BEB, ensured the return of UAH 28 million to the state budget in February 2026 within two criminal proceedings on tax evasion.
