The Cherkasy District Administrative Court is considering a case in which a woman claims that she was registered as an individual entrepreneur through «Diya» without submitting applications, and the tax office then assessed debts.
According to UNN, citing a court decision, the plaintiff is demanding that the entry in the Unified State Register, which registered her as an individual entrepreneur on March 14, 2023, be declared illegal. According to her, she did not use the service to register a business and did not provide any consent.
The woman learned about the existence of «entrepreneurial status» only after receiving court documents in the case of tax debt collection. Before that, as indicated in the materials, she had not received any notifications from either the tax office or other state bodies. As a result, she was charged over 38 thousand UAH of single tax and another 7,200 UAH of military duty.
The court decided to consider the case in a simplified manner without summoning the parties. The Ministry of Digital and the State Enterprise «Diya» are obliged to submit a response within 15 days, provide all documents related to the registration of the individual entrepreneur, and also explain who exactly and on what grounds took the relevant actions.
The ruling also states that if the defendants fail to provide a reasoned explanation, this may be considered a de facto admission of the claim. The case may become indicative for assessing the risks of digital government services and mechanisms for protecting citizens from erroneous or unauthorized registrations.
