How to build mutual trust between business and the state? Why are companies “fighting the mills” instead of thinking about entering new markets?
These and other issues were discussed on December 21 during the discussion “Presumption of Guilt in Tax and Customs Administration: proving the obvious”.
In its report “Presumption of Guilt in Tax and Customs Administration in Ukraine”, CASE Ukraine analytical center proves that this presumption is actually violated and contradicts European practice.
Experts of the discussion:
- Stanislav Muzychenko, First Deputy Head of the State Regulatory Service of Ukraine
- Tetiana Palamarchuk, Deputy Executive Director of the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs
- Dmytro Boyarchuk, Executive Director of CASE Ukraine
Moderator: Dmytro Denkov, editor-in-chief of Ekonomichna Pravda
During the discussion, Tetyana Palamarchuk focused on the following issues:
- adjustment of customs value
- absence of personal liability for state representatives for causing damage to business in the Customs Code
- growing trend of blocking tax invoices, which in most cases is an obstacle to business
- forceful pressure on business, which can be reduced by adopting Draft Law 10088, which should include an analytical component and solve the personnel problem.
One of the first steps to solve the problem of the presumption of guilt should be the recognition of its existence, absolute transparency of inspections and digitalization of all interaction processes, said Stanislav Muzychenko during the discussion.
