Representatives of business-society and experts, people's deputies and representatives of ministries and state institutions gathered at the meeting to discuss offered concepts of the tax reform. Besides, the meeting participants raised the issue of reformation of tax police of Ukraine and necessity of introduction of new instruments of assessment of the regulatory influence on small and microbusiness — so-called SME-test and "cost-benefit analysis."
Speaking for the draft law No. 3357 "On amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine as to tax liberalization," Viktor Halasiuk noted: "Radical tax reform is a chance to revive the economy. This draft law requires adoption as a basis. It also requires remarks and corrections to take in account as much needs of the small business as possible during its preparation for second reading."
According to Halasiuk, the adoption of the draft tax reform elaborated by the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Taxation and Customs Policy will allow shifting from "the budget of decumulation" to "the budget of opportunities."
