The founder of a company is to pay a fine of about 9 million lei for tax evasion. The firm that operated in the field of wholesale trade, primarily in food products and also in tobacco products, alcoholic drinks, grains and fodder, didn’t pay 5 million lei taxes, IPN reports.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases, the manager of the company under liquidation committed the tax evasion in 2012-2014. The firm had contracts with over 1,000 business entities, with a national coverage of 85%. The State Tax Service ascertained that the company during two years didn’t pay taxes totaling over 5 million lei.
Earlier this month, the Centru Court of Chisinau found both the manager and the company guilty, but the criminal punishment was annulled for the reason that the statute of limitations for this offense expired. But the former manager and the firm are to pay 9 million lei fine to the state.
