The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH has issued an Indictment against Mirko Šakić,   charged with the criminal offense of Tax Evasion or Fraud, as referred to in Article 210 of the Criminal Code of BiH.   

Prosecutor of the Department III of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH has issued an Indictment against Mirko Šakić, born on 03 January 1960 in Vitez, where he also resides, citizen of BiH and the Republic of Croatia.   

The accused Mirko Šakić is charged, as an owner and responsible person in the company of ‘Grand MS’ d.o.o. /Limited Liability Company/ Vitez liable to pay taxes, with making or acquiring fictitious invoices, bills of lading and purchase orders containing false information pertaining to a sale to a company from Posušje in the total amount of BAM 116,398.90, from 15 June 2005 to 30 December 2005, although there was no sale carried out with respect to that company, all for the purpose of evading to pay sales tax. This way, he failed to fulfill the requirements for tax exemption pursuant to valid legal provisions of the tax legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

According to the allegations in the Indictment, Mirko Šakić submitted to the Indirect Taxation Authority of BiH tax return forms with false content, thereby reducing his tax liability and evading to pay sales tax on products and services in the amount of BAM 12,383.27 thus damaging the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina in that  amount.

The accused Mirko Šakić is charged with evading payment of duties prescribed by tax legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by giving false information about his taxable income, and as the amount of duties evaded exceeds BAM 10,000.00, he thereby committed the criminal offense of Tax Evasion or Fraud, as referred to in Article 210, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code of BiH.

The Indictment has been forwarded to the Court of BiH for confirmation.
