THE FEDERAL TAX SERVICE THREATENED BANKRUPTCY OF A LARGE NETWORK OF GAS STATIONS IN PRIMORYE
A large private gas station operator in Primorsky Krai is facing the risk of financial insolvency. We are talking about Vladivostok-based LLC "Dalnefteprodukt", which manages nine gas stations and an oil depot. The reason for the bankruptcy procedure was the claim of the Interdistrict Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service of Russia No. 13 for tax arrears estimated at 12.633 million rubles.

The company, registered in May 2008, does not dispute the existence of the debt, but insists on its full repayment in a pre-trial manner. In response to the statement of the tax authority, Dalnefteprodukt submitted a review to the arbitration court, where it pointed to the gradual repayment of arrears and requested a postponement. The court, having considered the arguments, postponed the hearing to January 27, 2026, which gives the business time to resolve the dispute without resorting to drastic measures. 

The authorized capital of the company is divided between an individual and a legal entity: 51% belongs to Olga Yarantseva, and 49% belongs to the company itself. Yarantseva had previously been involved in the Vladivostok fuel market, owning a controlling 53.87% stake in Oktan LLC until 2017. According to open data, Dalnefteprodukt not only maintains a network of gas stations in Primorye, but also conducts wholesale fuel supplies to the Khabarovsk Territory, the Amur Region and the Jewish Autonomous Region. 

Despite the difficult economic situation for private gas stations, the company remains operationally profitable. The dynamics of its financial results is significant: in 2021, revenue amounted to 1.691 billion rubles with a net profit of 17.2 million rubles. By 2024, the figures had decreased to 486 million rubles of revenue and 2 million rubles of profit, but the company continues to operate without losses. This situation illustrates a general trend: businesses are facing increasing difficulties, but owners are striving to preserve assets and continue operations. 

At the moment, the bankruptcy case has not entered the active phase. The outcome will depend on the company's ability to pay off its tax debts in full within the allotted time and prove to the court that there are no signs of sustained insolvency. The key factor is the demonstrated willingness to fulfill obligations, which leaves a chance for restoring financial stability without applying insolvency procedures.
