A Gülenist prep school in the eastern province of Elazıg has allegedly been evading taxes by claiming they had 2,829 students enrolled despite having 4,173. It has been recorded that all branches of Gülenist FEM prep schools followed the same procedure.
One of the employees, M.K., who had been working there for seven years but was fired 45 days ago when they found out he voted for the AK Party in the March 30 elections, gave details in an interview with the Turkish newspaper Sabah. M.K. said that there were two separate folders at the prep school. "When inspectors came we would give the official version of the folder, however all taxes and revenue activities were carried out through the second folder," said M.K.
According to the former employee, during the 2013-2014 school year, the Gülenist FEM School gained TL 7.2 million ($3.3 million) in revenue from 4,173 students. However, the official numbers given to the taxes and revenue agency was TL 4 million for 2,829 students. The former employee added that they had forced them not to speak about this and to terminate previous years' files.
M.K. said there were 97 more people fired for the same reason. He said that he had taken copies of all files prior to getting
fired.
