Members of the Ukrainian Agri Council (UAC) and representatives of the State Tax Service of Ukraine (STS) discussed the new project “Territory of High Level of Tax Confidence”. According to Acting Deputy Head of the State Tax Service Yevhen Sokur the project is an important step towards building transparent and trusting relations between the state and entrepreneurs.

The main goal of the initiative is to ensure high-quality communication with entrepreneurs and encourage voluntary compliance with tax legislation.

“The project participants have clearly defined criteria. If they are met, the taxpayer receives an invitation to join the initiative in his/her electronic account. The list of taxpayers with a high level of voluntary tax compliance will be formed on a quarterly basis. The first list will be published on December 5, 2024,” he explained.

On a specialized subsite of the project, taxpayers can check their own performance and get acquainted with the average industry indicators of tax and salary payments.

Olha Bohdanova, the UAC's Tax Advisor, praised the results of the meeting with the STS representatives.

“We discussed in detail the general concept of building further relations between the State Tax Service and taxpayers. The UAC members have already joined the so-called “white business club”, and we hope that there will be more and more of them. To do this, we plan to organize online meetings with farmers so that more companies can join this project,” she said.

There are a number of important benefits for the participants of the “Territory of High Level Tax Confidence”:

• Exemption from most documentary unscheduled, scheduled, and actual audits.
• Reduced terms for providing individual tax advice.
• Assignment of a compliance manager to each participant, who will provide prompt advisory support and assistance to minimize the risks of violating the law.
