In connection with the false information disseminated in the information space about the alleged mass blocking of bank accounts of participants in foreign economic activity who imported hybrid vehicles from China, the State Revenue Committee reports the following.

Notifications of violations have been sent to taxpayers' personal accounts to participants in foreign economic activity who have submitted false information during the customs declaration of hybrid vehicles of the BYD brand.

At the same time, the notifications relate exclusively to 623 vehicles issued by 450 participants in foreign economic activity, which does not correspond to the disseminated information about the massive nature of these measures.

Measures to limit spending operations on bank accounts within the framework of current legislation have been applied only to 45 legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

The reason for the control measures was the increased frequency of statements of false information about the 30-minute power of the electric motor of hybrid vehicles, which influenced the illegal receipt of exemption from customs duties.

For the purpose of objective control, information on the factory technical characteristics of vehicles transmitted by an official representative of the BYD brand has been submitted to the territorial divisions of the state revenue authorities for further verification of the accuracy of the claimed data.

The State Revenue Committee urges citizens and participants in foreign economic activity to trust only official sources of information and refrain from spreading unverified information.
