In the result of necessary investigative and procedural actions conducted within the criminal proceeding initiated in Kotayk Regional Investigative Department of the RA Investigative Committee according to the Point 2 of the Part 3 of the Article 290 of RA Criminal Code it was found out that in order not to pay taxes in particularly large amount, distorted data on the real amount of the salaries paid to the employees were submitted to the tax authority by the management personnel of the LLC engaged in passenger transportation. As a result, in terms of income tax, taxes in the amount of about 50,000,000 AMD less, were paid to the state budget.

Particularly, the LLC director A.D. signed agreements on salaries in the amount less than in real, with the employees of the LLC as a result of which the amounts of the real salaries and the taxes arising from them were under-declared. The real amounts of the salaries agreed with the employees were paid in cash, thus evading paying taxes in particularly large amount - 50.000.000 AMD.

In the course of preliminary investigation on April 15, 2024 A.D. was arrested on the base of suspicion of evading paying taxes.

On the same day payment in the full above-mentioned amount was made to the deposit account of the RA Investigative Committee as a compensation of the alleged damage.
