The Department of Investigation and Operational Intelligence of the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia carries out constant control over the businessmen engaged in the importation and wholesale sale of fruits and vegetables from third countries.
In the course of the operational-investigative measures undertaken, information was received that a group of tax payers sell fruits and vegetables imported to the territory of the Republic of Armenia without settlement documents or write out settlement documents with false values.
Thus, the “Siam” limited liability company was founded by a citizen of the Islamic Republic of Iran. About 1,900 tons of fruit were imported, which according to the obtained information, were fully sold, but were not reflected in the tax calculations.
According to the preliminary calculation, the state suffered a particularly large amount of damage. Based on the reasonable suspicion that a crime had been committed, the director of the company was arrested by the officers of the Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department and was presented to the Main Department of Economic Crimes and Smuggling Investigation of the RA Investigative Committee, where criminal proceedings were initiated.
As part of the preliminary investigation in the criminal proceedings, the director of the company gave a confession, presented the tax calculations and recovered part of the damage caused, and the other part was committed to recovery in a short period of time. Currently, measures are being taken to determine and recover the final amount of damage caused to the state.
The State Revenue Committee urges the entrepreneurs engaged in the wholesale trade of fruits and vegetables not to distort the real prices and quantities of the purchase and sale of fruits and vegetables in the calculations submitted to the tax authority, to refrain from formulating wholesale sales of products through cash registers and under-declaration of prices, as well as artificially formed added value. from getting tax debits back.
