Abstract

The article deals with the grounds on which a person may be relieved of criminal liability for concealment of money or property, the expense of which must be made tax collection and (or) fees. The grounds for exemption from criminal liability under Part. 2 tbsp. 76.1 of the Criminal Code is the simultaneous presence of two conditions: 1) an offense under Part. 2 tbsp. 76.1 of the Criminal Code must be committed by a person for the first time; 2) the person reimburse the government for damages or transferred the income receivedfrom the commission of the offense, as well as transferred to the federal budget of the refund in the amount of five times the amount of the damage incurred or income received from committing criminal offenses. The problem in relation to the first condition is the fact that a person may often be exempt from criminal responsibility for the crimes committed, and each time it will be recognized as a person who has committed a criminal act. The problem in relation to the second condition is his performance as the commission of such acts as the concealment of funds or property, the expense of which must be made collecting taxes and (or) fees, it is in accordance with the disposition of the criminal law (Art. 199.2 of the Criminal Code) not associated with the generation of income or damages. We believe that the fulfillment of the second condition depends on the design features of the analyzed elements of a crime, depending on whether it is material or formal. In particular, when the concealment of funds or other property, due to which should be made collecting taxes and (or) fees, is a formal composition of the crime, the condition of the person's release from criminal liability must be compensation for the budgetary system damage, consisting of the amount of the fine and the amount of the respective fines as well as the transfer of state income monetary compensation equal to five times the amount paid in damages.
