Financial Police file criminal complaint against B.Z. and his company for 4.52M denar tax evasion
Financial Police accuse B.Z. and his company of failing to report income and expenses in the 2025 balance, causing a 4,520,084‑denar loss to the state budget.
The Financial Police has filed a criminal complaint with the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Struga against an individual identified as B.Z. and his company on suspicion of tax evasion under Article 279 of the Criminal Code.
Details of the alleged underreported amounts
According to the complaint, B.Z., as the owner and manager of the legal entity, did not record certain overdue and uncollected liabilities as income in the company’s gross balance for 2025. Those liabilities total 30,946,170 denars; because no court procedures had been initiated for their collection, they should have been declared and thus would have generated a corporate income tax liability of 3,094,617 denars.
The Financial Police also found that loans recorded in the company books as given to natural persons, amounting to 14,254,665 denars and not repaid by year‑end, were not recognized as unallowable expenses. As a result, an additional corporate income tax of 1,425,467 denars was neither calculated, reported nor paid.
“With these actions, the individual and the legal entity did not calculate, report, and pay the legally established tax obligations, thereby damaging the Budget of the Republic of North Macedonia in the total amount of 4,520,084 denars,” the Financial Police said in a statement.
The criminal complaint was submitted to the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Struga; the case is being pursued under the provisions that penalize tax evasion.
