Serious Invoicing Errors, Belarus Sanctions Risks & Financial Damages
am extremely disappointed with Boats Group’s financial operations. For over 5 months, the company issued tax invoices for my Bulgarian (EU) business incorrectly listing Belarus (BLR)—a sanctioned jurisdiction—as the destination.
Despite formal notifications in October 2025, they failed to rectify the documents before the fiscal year-end, causing me a direct 10% financial loss due to non-deductible expenses under Bulgarian tax law. Furthermore, they engaged in unlawful backdating of records and used a debt collection agency (CCI) to pursue a disputed amount that was later proven invalid (Credit Memo issued).
Due to the lack of professional accountability and the risks associated with the Belarus-labeled documentation, I have formally reported this matter to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and OFSI (UK Sanctions Authority). I am now proceeding with a claim in the London Small Claims Court to recover my €1,034 loss.
