The manager of a company trading in flowers didn’t pay over 1.8 million lei in taxes and faces five to ten years in jail for tax fraud and money laundering. According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the investigation into this case was completed. The firm is liable to a fine of 650 000 to 800 000 lei or could be liquidated, IPN reports.

In October 2014 – December 2015, the manager didn’t include over 4.5 million lei in the gross income obtained from entrepreneurial activity and didn’t submit the tax returns after receiving payments for the done work into the bank accounts. As a result, the tax on the income obtained from the performed work was diminished and not paid.

The manager also didn’t indicate nearly 1.5 million VAT on deliveries of almost 7.5 million lei in the register of deliveries and the VAT statement. The equivalent was transferred to the firm’s accounts by clients in the way arranged by the manager.

As a result of the actions of the firm manager, 1 880 701 lei in taxes weren’t paid into the state budget.
