NAV: The VAT cheaters were unable to scam the ekáer system

The organized criminal group was unable to scam the electronic road freight traffic control system (ekáer) system.

The criminals imported a variety of foods to Hungary without the payment of the value added tax (VAT). The boss and his three companions are in custody – the tax authority told MTI on Wednesday.

According to the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV), a Romanian man imported approximately three hundred and fifty trucks of food, especially sugar, milk and cooking oil to the country, without paying the VAT. (MTI)
