Internet merchants are suspected with several billion HUF tax fraud

An organization involved in e-commerce is accused by the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) of damaging 4.7 billion of budget losses by circumventing EU VAT rules, the MTI spokesman for the Central Transdanubian Crime Directorate of NAV told MTI.

Tóth Gergő stated that the company resold the goods purchased from the European Union without payment of VAT to Hungarian companies, including a well-known webshop. The products were tried to withhold VAT through a company network. The chain’s companies were led by Ukrainian, Serbian and Hungarian stromans, but they also used Slovak, Czech, Latvian, Croatian, German, Austrian, Slovenian, Polish and Romanian companies. (MTI)
