Must Read: The Novaya Newspaper On VAT Theft At Tax Office #28

Alexei Navalny Blog

You will probably remember from the case of Magnitsky, the thieves in Taxation Inspection #28 (including my favourite Vladlen-I-Am-Bitter- Stepanov) who, under the cover of the Investigation Committee, Ministry of Interior and Federal Security Service, pulled from the budget 5.4 bln roubles on the pretence of profit tax refund.

Those who deal with taxation know quite well that stealing money via “abusive tax schemes” is done by means of fake VAT recovery; theft of profit tax rebate is rather uncommon.

Honest businessmen fail to recompense it for years, most often they secure judgement only through court rule.

But certain personalities get the VAT recovered lightening-fast.
