Flash development regarding former AKP deputy named in fake invoice scandal

Tax inspectors affiliated with the Ministry of Treasury and Finance audited Maya Araştırma Danışmanlık Eğitim Organizasyon Ticaret Limited Şirketi. The Tax Inspection Report dated June 28, 2022, stated that the company "used fake invoices" during the period when former AKP Deputy Taşkesenlioğlu was also a partner.

According to the report by İsmail Arı from Birgün, the report stated, "It used fake invoices from Aztekin İnşaat Şirketi amounting to 100 thousand TL excluding VAT and 118 thousand TL including VAT. The share of VAT belonging to the fake invoices used within the deductible VAT is around 30 percent. This corresponds to 18 thousand TL."

As reported in the news, another report also included the findings that "It was determined that it used fake invoices from Petek Temizlik Reklam Şirketi. It was understood that the actual activity of Petek Temizlik Şirketi was to issue fake documents in exchange for a commission, and therefore all documents it issued in 2017, 2018, and 2019 were fake documents issued in exchange for a commission that were not based on a real delivery of goods or performance of services. It was concluded that a one-fold tax penalty should be imposed for the 18 thousand TL VAT included in the fake invoices."

PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE PASSES THE BUCK TO THE MINISTRY

In the reports, the inspectors emphasized that Taşkesenlioğlu's company evaded taxes by "using fake invoices."

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office issued a decision of non-jurisdiction on September 24, 2024, and sent the file to the Ministry of Treasury and Finance "for the appreciation and execution of the necessary actions."

The Prosecutor's Office stated that the filing of a lawsuit is dependent on the result of the tax audit.
