The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is willing to seek a full compromise with the Verkhovna Rada regarding tax changes with a view to accelerate the implementation of the tax reform and the adoption of the balanced budget, the government's press service reported referring to a statement of Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk made at a meeting of the National Reform Council.
"The Ministry of Finance has developed its draft [tax reform], and the parliamentary committee has its own draft [tax reform], but we will have a single draft document," Yatsenyuk said, adding the government is ready to seek a full compromise on this issue.
"I am confident that, with such an approach, we will not only find a compromise, we will introduce a new tax reform for the country, more incentives for Ukrainian businesses to create jobs and pay taxes," the Prime Minister said.
