🏭👀A struggle is unfolding over the Drohobych Salt Works. Deputies of the Drohobych City Council are asking the Government to hand the historic enterprise over to the community, and the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU) announced an audit amid suspicion that revenues from the state enterprise were going to outside individual entrepreneurs (FOPs) who hand out affirmations instead of fiscal receipts.
SPFU head Dmytro Natalukha said that before deciding to put the salt works up for auction he personally went there “as a tourist” to assess the site. However, he noted that when paying for goods and services no one issued receipts, and when he asked for one he was given a slip with a wish.
Over time a friend of mine joined me. I shared this oddity with him and he eagerly went to the cashier to test my claim in practice. When, upon his request, he received the same paper analogue of a fortune-cookie note instead of a receipt (he also had to ask for it), he specified that he would like to receive an actual “fiscal receipt.”
A genuine commotion began at the register and someone asked whether he was from the tax service. When he answered that he is an ordinary citizen of Ukraine, to whom the cashier is legally obliged to give a receipt after payment, he was told that the “senior” person would come. The “senior” did indeed come, for some reason asked again whether he really wanted a “fiscal receipt,” and after that issued it on a different cash register than the one that had been producing the inspirational fortunes or affirmations.
The company details are not LLC “Drohobych Salt Works,” 100%-owned by the state represented by the SPFU. The details on the receipt are for individual entrepreneur (FOP) Harkusha L.O. A fully private entrepreneur who receives money for anything you buy on the premises of the fully state-owned Drohobych Salt Works.
Note that the state enterprise is currently run by Oleh Petrenko, who is also a deputy of the Drohobych City Council. He was recently barred twice from the contest to lead the salt works, after which the city council began promoting the idea of transferring it to communal ownership.
