Financial Authority Uncovers Sweetened Beverages Tax Fraud Worth over Half a Million Euros
Controllers from the financial authority discovered unauthorised handling of the sweetened beverages tax, resulting in damage to the state exceeding half a million euros.
The fraudsters apparently exploited the tax refund system for the export of sweetened beverages abroad, whilst in reality either no actual export took place or the amount was overstated. Through this conduct, the perpetrators managed to obtain unauthorised financial resources from public funds.
The financial authority carried out the necessary inspections in this connection and referred the matter to the appropriate authorities conducting criminal proceedings. If found guilty, the perpetrators face imprisonment.
