VAT scams - invoices for percentage
The owner of an accounting office has been detained by the officers of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau. Previously, two other individuals have been presented with charges in connection with this case.
The officers of the Regional Office of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in Łódź, jointly with the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw, have been carrying out an investigation into money laundering and issuing fraudulent VAT invoices in exchange for a financial advantage in the form of several percent of the invoices value. During the several-month long proceedings, three entrepreneurs have been detained, one of whom is of Ukrainian origin.
Today, in connection with this case, the CBA officers have detained the owner of an accounting office in Warsaw. Additionally, her place of residence and her workplace have been searched. All findings indicate that the detainee kept her clients’ accounting books inaccurately and she assissted them with issuing fraudulent VAT invoices, which resulted in depletion of tax receivables. The investigators’ initial estimates indicate that the invoices amounted to PLN 3 million.
The detainee will be presented with charges in the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw.
