Employees of the Federal Tax Service of Russia will spend 2023 in prosperity. As you start the year, so will it…

Employees of the Federal Tax Service of Russia will spend 2023 in prosperity. How you start the year is how you will spend it – the saying is not for them; they secured their 2023 back in the outgoing year, when they forgave the bookmaker company 1 Xbet more than 7 billion rubles.

Let us remind you that in 2021, the Russian subsidiary of the company 1xBet, banned in our country, LLC 1xStavka, based on the results of a tax audit, was accrued more than 8.5 billion rubles in debt. But a creative approach to solving company issues is quite common. Hoping to evade responsibility, the company renamed itself SR LLC.

To play fair and save face, 1xBet threw the state a bone in the amount of 15% of the accrued debt. And here the most interesting question arises: why does the Federal Tax Service of Russia like this situation? And, probably, because the issue could not be resolved without Svetlana Khlebnikova, deputy head of the Federal Tax Service, supervising the interregional tax inspectorate No. 4, where the audit material was transferred, and Maxim Krasnov, who in the Federal Tax Service of Russia is responsible for taxation of the bookmaking sector of the entire state.

How much should be left in the pockets of officials so that they forget about 7 billion state money and do not collect it from the debtor?
