False invoices issued for over PLN 10 million - detention by CBA

A man who allegedly issued false invoices for more than PLN 10 million and exposed the State Treasury to a tax loss of no less than PLN 2.6 million has been detained by the CBA. He has already faced charges in the prosecutor's office. He will spend the next three months in custody.

Officers of the CBA Regional Office in Poznań have been conducting an investigation under the supervision of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Poznań into issuing fraudulent VAT invoices from January 2017 to November 2019, both in Poland and abroad. A number of persons representing various business entities were involved in the practice. In the course of the conducted activities, findings were made indicating the use of invoices that did not reflect real economic transactions in order to avoid the depletion of tax dues. Evidence indicates that the value of the invoices issued exceeds PLN 43 million. However, the value of tax evasion amounts to at least PLN 12 million.

The investigation was instigated based on materials collected by officers of the CBA Regional Office in Poznań. At the current stage of the investigation, charges have already been brought against two persons involved in the said practice.

In recent days, CBA officers have detained another person. A man representing a business entity from the Wielkopolskie Voivodship issued VAT invoices for alleged services and supplies of goods, which he then used in the course of his business activities and sold to owners of other business entities, who on their basis reported fictitious costs and made depletions in VAT. Evidence gathered in the investigation shows that he issued fraudulent VAT invoices for at least PLN 10 million and exposed the State Treasury to a tax loss of no less than PLN 2.6 million.

The detainee has already faced charges in the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Poznań. The court, granting the prosecution's request, remanded the man in custody for three months.
