"An employee of the “Qaradagh Cement" logistics department Tahir Tagiyev has been really arrested recently. He confessed that he had false invoices from suppliers and evaded tax payments”, the head of the “Qaradagh Cement" Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC) Uwe Koehler told Trend.
Koehler noted this fact is a personal offence of Tagiyev. “It is his personal crime, committed by the employee who acted against the interests of the company”, Koehler stressed.
The Ministry of Taxes, in its turn, confirmed the fact of Tagiyev’s arrest and noted, they do not rule out the possibility of arresting the people who committed tax crimes, including the moments, when such facts were revealed during checking of “Garadag Cement" OJSC.
It should be noted the Department of preliminary criminal investigations under the Ministry of Taxes filed a lawsuit against the enterprise by the Article

At the results of the tax controlling at OJSC from 21 February till 24 May 2005 and covering the period of the company�s operation since the 1 January 2003 up to 1 January 2005, the tax bodies were submitted accounting documents with distorted data on revenues and expenditures.

For the moment “Qaradagh Cement" OJSC reimbursed the amount of the basic tax debt of over 13 billion AZM. The remaining payments are to constitute some 3 billion AZM, which formed on the account of penny and penalties.
