Moreover, according to the Head of Government, the new Program provides for check-up procedures of enterprises. “We posed a problem that we turn to 10 percent of 100 percent contract check-ups with taxers’ coming. 90 percent will be fulfilled by non-contract means, including analysis of electronic data on enterprises’ activity,” Yulia Tymoshenko noted, adding that during three months the Government must “eliminate any defects concerning VAT payment”.
As the Head of Government noted, it is necessary urgently to put an order in that state, as “misuse of VAT return is at its zenith”. Yulia Tymoshenko said that the previous government had left grave heritage: fictitious export, fictitious chains concerning VAT payment within the country, and as a result – shadow schemes in VAT payments are practically dominating today over normal discharge of taxes.
