👤👤👤👤 Corruption in the Tax Service: officials caught extorting bribes from businesses👥
NABU and SAP exposed a scheme in the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Ternopil region for systematically receiving improper benefits from local companies.
According to the investigation, the deputy head of the department and the head of one of the territorial units set up a mechanism for enrichment by manipulating the results of tax audits. They allegedly found supposed multi-million violations and offered to significantly reduce the amounts of penalties in official documents.
During spring–summer 2026, the perpetrators received from a representative of two enterprises improper benefits totaling 75 000 euros.
In June, the tax officials demanded a kickback of 11,5% from another company in exchange for unobstructed budget VAT reimbursement of over 14,6 million UAH.
The crime was uncovered during the handover of the bribe through an intermediary.
