According to him, the current government came with liberal slogans to stimulate the free development of entrepreneurship and reduce the regulatory pressure of the state. But instead, it does the opposite: increases tax pressure on business and further drives it into the “shadow”.
In particular, the Ministry of Finance is preparing a bill on the indirect determination of the income of Ukrainians, before that a law on “zero” declaration was adopted. And now, under the guise of fighting the oligarchs, the authorities are putting forward bill # 5600, which, according to Palatny, is actually killing the middle class.
At the same time, the reform of the tax police and the creation of a service-oriented Bureau of Economic Security have actually failed, he notes.
“The introduction of methods of indirect control of the income of Ukrainians in the current conditions will only lead to increased pressure from the state on citizens and to the search for new methods of tax evasion on the part of entrepreneurs,” warns Palatny.
In “Vitali Klitschko IMPACT” they believe that the main function of the state is to create conditions under which a person can freely realize himself.
“We have always advocated the de-shadowing of the economy and fair payment of taxes by everyone. But the state, firstly, must create clear and transparent“ rules of the game ”, which will make it possible to conduct business honestly and pay taxes. And secondly, to create favorable conditions for doing business, reducing the tax burden on it, “- emphasizes Arthur Palatny.
The head of the UDAR executive committee expressed confidence that instead of counting the expenses of each Ukrainian, the government should clear the tax office of corrupt officials and reduce the pressure on business.
“The main engine of the country’s economic development should be small and medium-sized businesses, which should be freed from the excessive tax press and regulatory interference. For this it is necessary: to simplify the taxation system as much as possible, introduce a” single window “system in all types of relations between government and business, to minimize the opportunities for corruption and reduce the costs of entrepreneurs Completely “reset” the tax service – to recruit new employees according to the criteria of professional and moral and ethical compliance, to reorient the state fiscal authorities – with an emphasis on preventive measures to comply with the rule of law These measures should be accompanied by a reform of the judicial and law enforcement system, “- said Arthur Palatny.
He emphasizes: only after the implementation of these measures can we proceed to the second stage – to introduce methods of indirect control of income. And under current conditions, this will only lead to increased pressure from the state and the emergence of new schemes for tax evasion on the part of entrepreneurs.
As previously reported, Minister of Finance Serhiy Marchenko announced that the government is developing a bill on indirect methods for determining the income of Ukrainian citizens. This document should be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada this year.
