FTS and billions from 1Xbet

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

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

In order to play honesty and save face, 1xStavka threw a bone to the state in the amount of 15% of the accrued debt. And here the most interesting question arises, why does the Federal Tax Service of Russia suit such a situation? And, probably, because the issue was not resolved without Svetlana Khlebnikova, Deputy Head of the Department of the Federal Tax Service, in charge of 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 betting sector of the entire state.

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