according to Leonenko, it is not just the idea, while bill worked on several major agencies – the General Prosecutor’s office, Federal tax service, interior Ministry and the Investigative Committee. For the state of suppression of tax crimes is very important.
According to experts, the year the Russian budget loses from-for tax fraud 58 billion. Therefore, the actual tougher government sanctions for such crimes is understandable and justified.
Why would a new article, if fraud on the taxes today are caught and tried as many as four articles of the Criminal code? In the domestic Criminal code there are articles 198-199.2. Plus, these articles still have a separate article about all the scams – 158-I.
According to Deputy Alexander Bastrykin, such fraud with taxes “can be classified in different ways.”
And indeed it is. The same tax-law violation today can be investigated on several criminal counts, each with various sentences, and often are very different.
So caught red-handed tax fraud to the choice of law enforcement possible to regret, and you can clap. And it’s wrong.
as an example Olena Leonenko has led the most common tax crime – illegal compensation from the budget of value added tax. The most common types of tax crimes in Russia – this is standard when you create artificial circulation. Thus, understate expenses, and this amount is underestimated profits, which is paid in income tax in a smaller size than it needs to be paid by law.
in addition, the amount of excessive spending by artificial document flow in the tax returns are VAT deductions.
“And because the taxpayer did not actually bear the cost and not pay VAT when calculating with imaginary counterparts, and had no right to deduction and, accordingly, had no right to specify in the declarations, thus the amount of deductions he evaded paying VAT. It is also a common illegal compensation of the VAT from the budget”, – said Colonel-General.
According to a senior official of the Investigative Committee, you can take the article 199 of the Criminal code, which refers to the evasion of taxes from the legal person in especially large size. In this case, the punishment will reach six years of imprisonment. At the same time, article 159 in fact, for the same violation of the law calls theft and send to places not so remote for 10 years.
Thus, for a crime, qualified in different ways, assume different punishment. Now appear in the criminal code additional article, under which would fall all Moshinnocencia actions with taxes.
According to the General IC, only for the first half of 2020 identified three thousand of tax crimes. And this is 17 percent less than last year.
“But this should not reassure,” he told RIA Novosti Elena Leonenko.
In General fraud with taxes most fixed in Moscow and Moscow region. In addition, according to the General Leonenko, most tax crimes are committed in the large and medium construction, retail and wholesale trade.
In the list of regions where the tax Scam are very common, came in Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol and Rostov oblast. The figures is as follows. In the capital and its suburbs in the past year was initiated 228 and 152 criminal cases. In the Krasnodar region – 133, in Stavropol – 108, in the Rostov region – 96.
