Revenues and expenditures of the 2015-state budget may be increased by UAH 24 billion, according to the draft law on changes to the state budget for the current year, which will be submitted for consideration of the Cabinet of Ministers tomorrow, Ukrainian news agency RBC-Ukraine reported with reference to a source close to the government.
The source told that expenditures are planned to be increased by UAH 2.7 billion to cover the difference in tariffs, by UAH 13 billion for social spending, and by UAH 7 billion to increase VAT refunds.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko stated Ukraine's budget revenues had exceeded the projected volume by UAH 24.6 billion over the last eight months of this year, which resulted from the country's decentralization efforts and the applicable tax policy, according to Jaresko.
