The Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Skopje has issued an Order to conduct an investigative procedure against two persons suspected of having committed the criminal offense of "Tax Evasion" over a longer period of time, provided for in Article 279, paragraph 3, in conjunction with paragraph 1 and in conjunction with Article 45 of the Criminal Code.
Over a period of five years, from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2024, the suspects evaded taxes and damaged the state budget for a total amount of 64.924.298 denars or more than one million euros.
Both, as owners and managers of a legal entity from Skopje, in order to avoid the full payment of personal income tax of 11.11% and value added tax of 18%, for which they were legally obligated, provided false data or failed to report facts that had an impact on determining the amount of such obligations, which resulted in the non-determination of the tax liability.
They committed tax evasion by avoiding reporting their legal tax obligations from the trade of gold jewelry, gold bars and unprocessed silver, as well as unprocessed clay.
The public prosecutor has proposed pre-trial detention for both people. /Telegrafi/
