“Humble” tax officer from Kyiv “forgot” about a multimillion-dollar house and the whole family’s foreign passports 🏠📉
NACP completed a full audit of the annual declaration for the 2022 year of Kyiv tax inspector Tetyana Katrych. The result — violations totaling 2,43 million hryvnias and a direct ticket to a criminal proceeding (part 1 of Art. 366–2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Tax officials are great at counting every penny of taxpayers, but when it comes to their own assets — chronic amnesia begins.
What exactly “slipped” the civil servant’s memory:
🔹 Phantom house in Kyiv. The main episode — a garden house of 166,3 m² in the capital, which Ms. Katrych has owned since March 2020. The property’s value according to expert estimates is from 2,43 million to 4,1 million hryvnias ($127–135 thousand at market prices).
The tax officer’s explanation — the house with the plot was “gifted by dad” back in 2016, and when filling out the declaration she allegedly thought it was enough to list only the land. Yet for some reason living in this house with her family didn’t stop her, nor did repeatedly editing the real estate section in other declarations. NACP did not believe such “sincere forgetfulness.”
🔹 Foreign passports? No, never heard of them. In the section on identification documents outside Ukraine, Katrych marked “data absent” for herself, her husband, three sons and a daughter. Although the Demographic Register clearly shows foreign passports for the entire family.
🔹 Life’s small things and arithmetic:
— her husband’s car, a Mitsubishi Pajero, she listed at 200 thousand hryvnias instead of 300 thousand as per the registry, and even mixed up the VIN;
— she “underreported” her husband’s official salary (declared 69,6 thousand instead of the actual 86,5 thousand);
— she concealed bank accounts at Raiffeisen;
— she made mistakes in the areas and values of land plots in the Kyiv region and in Mukachevo.
