The State Fiscal Service (SFS) of Ukraine intends to audit all individual entrepreneurs, who closed down their businesses late December 2016 - early January 2017 after legislation on single tax payment was changed, Head of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine Roman Nasirov told journalists on Friday, February 17.
"Many of those who have closed down were business entities that had not operated for a year or two. Therefore, it is not difficult to check them. Meanwhile, there were some entities that were functioning without declaring any profits. However, we realize that it is difficult to prove [their wrongdoing]," he said.
According to Nasirov, along with the closure of non-functioning business entities, some 28,000 new entities opened in January.
"The inspection process is in line with the law and it will take place in accordance with established procedure. We conduct audits, according to the Code," the head of SFS added.
