Tax inspectorate demands 24 millions from an ill 2-year-old Belarusian
Artsyom Nebakatkin suffered from an innate biliary cirrhosis. The baby needed an urgent transplantation of liver.
Such operations cannot be conducted in Belarus and the transplantation costs 120 thousand dollars in Russia. The "Komsomolskaya pravda v Belorussii" newspaper urged people to help the child. All the interested could send money to a special bank account.
As a result, 162 million roubles were collected. The money was not enough but Moscow doctors met half day and conducted the operation. The boy is two years old now. He feels okay and has caught up with his coevals in the weight and height. It turned out that the collected sum of money was taxable (the tax was 45 millions) and there was also a fine for payment delay – about four millions.
Tax inspectors advised to send an appeal to the local executive committee asking for tax exemption. As a result, Artsyom’s mother was exempt of 80% of taxes. She had to pay 9 million. Meanwhile, people wishing to help continue sending money to the bank account.
However, the bank does not allow drawing it out. They say that the goal was reached and the operation was conducted. But the money that cannot be drawn up is still taxable – 15 millions. As a result, Arstyom’s mother has to pay 24 millions.
