The soldiers of the Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza of Cagliari have executed a preventive seizure decree issued by the investigating judge of the Court of Cagliari for over 500 thousand euros against a company and its legal representative of Chinese origins , operating in the trade sector retail of various items.
The investigation developed starting from the checks for the tax periods from 2016 to 2020: the company, it emerged, had set up a "carousel fraud", with invoices for non-existent operations which allowed it to reduce the base taxable amount to be subjected to taxation for approximately 700 thousand euros and not to pay VAT for over 150 thousand euros.
«The goods being sold – the Financial Police announced – were described in the tax documents in an absolutely generic manner, without any specification of the product code and type; there was no connection to any transport document (which in the majority of cases did not occur) and the payment was made in cash or on an IBAN not attributable to the supplying "paper mill" companies".
The investigations conducted by the Economic-Financial Police Unit have led to the reconstruction of a whirlwind "circle" of false invoicing, amounting to over 200 million euros , issued by numerous "paper mill" companies through which it was possible to bring large quantities of goods - in evasion of VAT and duties - making use of specific customs regimes for importing products into the territory of the European Union: «The actual precautionary measure applied to the company and its legal representative made it possible to learn financial availability on 3 current accounts, shares corporate entities and part of a commercial property".
