suppliers of goods and services related to fire safety in Brest region: it
supplied and refilled fire extinguishers, verified fire extinguishing
equipment, assembled and adjusted fire alarm and notification systems,
manufactured and sold visual aids. The company's clients were mainly economic
entities of the public sector of the country.
The employees of the financial investigation bodies
found out that in order to understate the company's revenue, two owners and
actual managers of the company registered seven more enterprises under their
control with similar names and activities in regional centres and large cities
of Brest, Gomel, Grodna and Minsk regions. At the same time, the established
entities used the simplified taxation system. The new companies were involved
in the activities of the parent company in order to share the proceeds
received, which would not exceed the maximum threshold for each of these
companies to pay tax under the simplified system.

between the controlled business entities from January 2020 to December 2022.
