Ukraine negotiating with IMF, other partners on post-war competitive tax system – Deputy Head of President's Office Shurma
KYIV. Nov 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine intends to modify the tax system after the war, make it competitive with its neighbors and stimulate recovery, and is currently negotiating this with the IMF and other international partners, Deputy Head of the President’s Office Rostyslav Shurma said.
"Negotiations with the IMF and our other partners are quite active today on how we can modify our tax system… As soon as we complete this discussion with them, I think we will return to the public plane and will be able to announce what the new tax system will be like after victory," he said at the Kyiv International Economic Forum on Thursday.
Shurma said that in addition to the goals mentioned above, the new model of the tax system should ensure the introduction of a culture of paying taxes in Ukraine, when everyone pays them.
According to him, it should also provide good enough investment conditions for economic recovery for "five, seven or 10 years – as we will finally agree."
The deputy head of the President’s Office said that he would not like to name "specific figures, rates, terms, and so on."
"Today, more than ever, we depend on the financial support of our partners. Therefore, we have agreements with them that we will consult in detail, discuss this model and, after reaching a consensus, we will announce it… But we are definitely planning changes in this direction and very actively working on it," Shurma said.
