How Uklon taxi service underreports taxes

The taxi service Uklon appears to be engaged in tax evasion. More precisely, it is significantly underreporting its income.

Recently, information emerged on social media that the taxi service is deducting funds from customers' balances for rides in foreign currency. After contacting their bank's customer support, passengers unexpectedly discovered that the deductions had been processed from abroad, even though they were physically located in Ukraine.

Investigations revealed that the deductions are processed by Uklon's central office, which is located in Cyprus. In other words, the transaction effectively takes place abroad. As a result, the company does not make payments to the Ukrainian budget. Naturally, not all amounts are processed this way. However, a substantial portion is.

Uklon attempted to justify the deductions, attributing them to a technical glitch. However, according to customers, such transactions have been occurring for over a year. Therefore, it is impossible to blame everything on a random error.

Law enforcement agencies must now investigate the situation.
