A plastic surgery center in Zakarpattia failed to pay 100 million hryvnias in taxes

Law enforcement officials are investigating possible tax evasion by one of Ukraine's largest plastic surgery centers in Zakarpattia.

This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.

According to the investigation, the clinic’s management may have organized a scheme to minimize tax payments through a network of affiliated companies and sole proprietorships, among which the clinic’s actual income was distributed.

The prosecutor’s office notes that despite unified management, staff, resources, and financial flows, the medical center’s activities were formally registered under several business entities, which may have allowed for the concealment of actual income.

According to preliminary estimates, from January 2024 to April 2026, the clinic’s actual revenue could have exceeded 520 million hryvnias, and the amount of unpaid taxes could have reached approximately 100 million hryvnias.

During the searches, BEB detectives and prosecutors seized financial documentation, draft accounting records, electronic accounting data, records of “under-the-table” salary payments, vehicles, and over 18.4 million hryvnias in cash in various currencies.

Investigators are also verifying information regarding possible cash transactions with clients without cash registers and the receipt of payments in foreign currency in violation of the law.

An official from the Trade and Customs Chamber was detained in the Kyiv region for extorting a bribe.

Earlier, the SAPO and NABU exposed SBU investigators and a lawyer for taking bribes.

As a reminder, the organizer of a scheme to smuggle draft dodgers for $12,000 was detained in Kyiv.
