285 illegal gas stations operate in the Nizhny Novgorod region

On the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region, there are about 285 illegal container-type filling stations, called “gasbots”. Such activities can bring annual tax losses of 2.9 billion rubles. This information was published in Energy Today.

According to the source, 765 petrol stations were registered in the region. At the same time, the number of illegal facilities reaches 285, which is about 37% of the number of officially operating stations.

The publication indicates that the owners of illegal gas stations often do not pay land and property taxes. Fuel there is usually sold in cash or through transfers to the accounts of one-day firms. In the end, no one knows where the fuel came from and what its quality is.
