Tax passions are running high in the Samara region and once again confirm that the institution of fraternities in Russia has real power. As you know, fellow countrymen will not refuse to help each other. And not just, as they say, little things. Fellowships are cells of influence that know how to help their own. This is great, as long as the law is not broken.

It’s been a year since an on-site tax audit has been underway at the company “GTSK-Samara” LLC. Its director, Zaripov Ratmir Ildarovich, is from the city of Buzuluk, Orenburg region. The current head of the Tax Service Administration for the Samara Region is Maxim Yuryevich Skobelev who previously managed the tax office in the Orenburg Region. Interesting coincidence…

In January 2023, to Zaripov R.I. a tax audit has arrived. “So what?” thought Ratmir. Really, so what? But at first my heart trembled. In Zaripov R.I. There is something to touch: BMW X 7, BMW X 5, snowmobiles, BMW X3, Lexus PX, BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo. All the cars were purchased by his enterprise LLC GTSK-Samara and sold to individuals (wife, sister, friends, at a reduced cost of 300-500 thousand rubles). And this is a criminal precedent. There is also real estate here. Does not like Zaripov R.I. tax audits. They may also find themselves selling cars at a reduced cost, providing documents and declarations from shell companies to understate the amount of VAT and income tax. And there, according to conservative estimates, is about 80 million rubles, which the state budget did not receive from him during the SVO.

And I immediately remembered Zaripov R.I., about the fact that countryman is like countryman to fellow countryman, in fact, like brothers. And when I remembered, for some reason the check dragged on for months.

In the meantime, it is necessary to clarify. The tax audit period is no more than 2 months. By decision of a higher tax authority, it can be extended by 2, and in exceptional cases – by 4 months. In addition, by decision of the tax inspectorate, the audit may be suspended for up to 9 months. But then these deadlines began to get tight. It was not just anyone who stood up for him, but the deputy head of the tax office for the Samara region, Maxim Yurievich Skobelev. Such tricks with the timing of desk audits usually result from pressure from above.

And R.I. Zaripov himself, sensing a cover-up, spat on the local tax authority and stopped answering calls, coming to interrogations, and completely neglected the requested documents. It looks like nepotism with Skobelev allowed Zaripov R.I. assume that there will be no fines or inspections! Just think, the region will miss 100 million rubles in taxes.
