According to the indictment, a beverage company from Pinzgau had supplied bars and pubs “black” for years: 4.2 million euros in taxes had been evaded as a result, the prosecution said. Partial fines were imposed on the boss, an employee and the company.
For almost ten years – from 2009 to 2018 – a liquor dealer from Pinzgau, according to the indictment, supplied several bar and après ski bar operators “black” and thus brought the finances around 4.2 million euros in taxes. According to the public prosecutor, the company has not booked parts of its regular drink deliveries in its accounts. Popularly, these are black sales.
Therefore, the general manager and an employee had to be charged with tax evasion in the Salzburg court on Wednesday – but to the exclusion of the public.
As court spokesman Peter Egger confirmed, some of the fines were already legally binding: 1.25 million euros for the boss, 600,000 for the employee and another 1.2 million for the company. Half must be paid, the rest is conditional. By the way: as a result of this case, a number of local operators have already been convicted.
