– The inspected company handled money of unknown origin. Its bank accounts, held in euros and US dollars, received million-zloty payments from several hundred entities in various countries around the world. The payments were immediately transferred to other companies around the world. The transfer titles suggested payments for invoices, while the transactions were one-off operations – reports Agnieszka Rzeźnicka-Gniadek, spokesperson for the Lower Silesian KAS.
She adds:
The company, based in a virtual office, filed no tax returns or tax information. It had no employees, and its accounting records could not be found—there were no traces whatsoever of business activity.
That was not the end of the matter. The president of the company’s one-person management board had no permanent registered address and was a so-called front man. He used several identity cards at banks, was registered as homeless and had no source of income.
KAS:
The money paid into the company’s accounts was not returned to the payers—it constitutes taxable income for the company amounting to more than PLN 25 million. The Warsaw-Praga District Prosecutor’s Office blocked approximately PLN 2.8 million in the company’s bank accounts toward the understated tax.
