“Printing house of blank invoices” - further detentions
Two more people have been detained by the CBA as part of the investigation into the so-called printing house of blank invoices.
Officers of the CBA Regional Office in Warsaw have detained further entrepreneurs in connection with an ongoing investigation concerning the so-called printing house of blank invoices operating in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship in the years 2016 - 2018. The investigation is conducted under the supervision of the District Public Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw and concerns the issuance of almost 1500 invoices, worth up to PLN 23 million, which did not document actual economic transactions.
The suspects were detained in the Mazovian voivodeship in connection with entering inaccurate VAT invoices in their registers. For the crime committed, in addition to severe financial penalties, they may face up to 8 years in prison.
The criminal practice consisted in using invoices for fictitious transactions to reduce tax dues, which the suspects - carrying out business activities - should pay to relevant tax offices. The analysis of the evidence gathered confirms that the scale of issuing unreliable VAT invoices amounts to tens of millions of zlotys and the blank invoices were received by over a dozen entrepreneurs from the Mazowieckie Voivodeship. In the course of the proceedings, officers of the CBA Regional Office in Warsaw retrieved accounting and tax documentation of the entity that used blank invoices.
It is the fifth operation of the CBA Regional Office in Warsaw and the Regional Public Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw in this case. The investigation has already brought charges against over a dozen entrepreneurs who used blank invoices.
