The company is suspected of issuing double cheques and under-reporting official salaries to employees.<\/p>\n<h2>Marketopt chain under suspicion<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>Times of Ukraine<\/strong><\/em> reported that the supermarket chain Marketopt systematically issues two receipts at the checkout. This may indicate the use of tax evasion schemes.<\/p>\n<p>According to sources, this practice has been going on for a long time and is causing concern among buyers and market experts.<\/p>\n<h2>Significant losses for the budget<\/h2>\n<p>In 2025, Marketopt declared almost UAH 6 billion in revenue, but paid only UAH 219 million in taxes to the state budget. This is 23 times less than similar chains on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Experts estimate that the company may misappropriate more than UAH 4 billion annually, which should have gone to the budget.<\/p>\n<h2>Underpaid salaries for employees<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to tax schemes, Marketopt is accused of underpaying official salaries. The average salary in food retail in 2024 was UAH 7.5 thousand, which is lower than the legal minimum.<\/p>\n<p>The network's employees may receive part of their salaries unofficially, which also contributes to the state's tax shortfall.<\/p>\n<h2>Public and market reaction<\/h2>\n<p>Information about possible tax evasion has caused a stir among consumers and competitors. Experts are calling for regulatory authorities to inspect the network's activities.<\/p>\n<p>No official comment was received from Marketopta representatives at the time of publication.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0421\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0435 \u0443\u0445\u0438\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0434 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0443 \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0456 \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0435\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0456\u0432 \u00ab\u041c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0442\u00bb. \u041a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u044e \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043e\u0437\u0440\u044e\u044e\u0442\u044c \u0443 \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u0447\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0432\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0447\u0435\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0442\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0456 \u043e\u0444\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0437\u0430\u0440\u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442 \u0441\u043f\u0456\u0432\u0440\u043e\u0431\u0456\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043c. \u041c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0430 \u00ab\u041c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0442\u00bb \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043e\u0437\u0440\u043e\u044e Times of Ukraine \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u0438\u043b\u0438, \u0449\u043e \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0430 \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0435\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0456\u0432 \u00ab\u041c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0442\u00bb \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u043e \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u0454 \u043f\u043e \u0434\u0432\u0430 \u0447\u0435\u043a\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043a\u0430\u0441\u0456. \u0426\u0435 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u0441\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0447\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0441\u0445\u0435\u043c \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0443\u0445\u0438\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0434 \u0441\u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0432. \u0417\u0430 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u0434\u0436\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043b, [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433355,"featured_media":16847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_title":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u041c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0442","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805618],"tags":[806814],"class_list":{"0":"post-16848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economics","8":"tag-finansy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16848"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16848\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16849,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16848\/revisions\/16849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
