IBSER proposals are taken into account

     The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Tax and Customs Policy has extended its sincere gratitude (a letter of thanks enclosed) to IBSER experts for the proactive stance taken by IBSER on the matters of implementing reform of the Ukrainian tax system and for the expert assessments, which were provided by IBSER specialists in 2009 within the implementation of MFSI project tasks aimed at improving Ukrainian legislation needed to increase local budget revenues. It should be noted that IBSER proposals were taken into account when drafting such legislative bills as, e.g., “On Local Taxes and Fees” and “On Simplified Taxation System”.
     Later IBSER experts prepared proposals and comments to the draft law “On Changes to the Law of Ukraine “On Land Payment” (registration number 5265 from 22/10/2009, submitted by the Members of Ukrainian Parliament S.Soboliev and V.Dubil). In particular, the following provisions of the draft law were commented: inclusion of the land tax to the local taxes and fees list, taxation of underground space, taxation of lands under the residential buildings etc. The proposals were submitted to the VRU Tax and Customs Committee. It is worthy to note that the draft law #5265 contains a number of provisions, initiated by IBSER experts, in the same wording as it was proposed by IBSER experts.
     Therefore, the Committee leaders have invited IBSER experts to continue collaboration in finalizing the said draft law and work closely together for the purpose of implementing reform of the Ukrainian tax system and assuring transparency of fiscal relations.
