A group of 12 businessmen operating 8 companies engaged in fraudulent invoicing to illegally claim VAT refunds, causing over 100 million lei in damages to the state, according to ANAF. The investigation revealed that the initial estimated damage of 18 million lei was significantly underestimated. The fraudulent scheme involved creating a false economic circuit to obtain unjustified VAT deductions and refunds exceeding 26 million lei. ANAF has forwarded the evidence to prosecutors for further legal action. The agency emphasizes the importance of complying with tax obligations and warns about the risks of engaging in transactions lacking real economic substance.
