Arseniy Yatsenyuk: Financial investigation service should replace tax police under the SFS supervision
"The tax police
should sink into oblivion. We shall transfer to a western-model approach – we should
establish a professional financial investigation service within the State Fiscal
Service", stressed Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk at a
Government meeting on Wednesday, August 5.
According to the Prime
Minister, the financial investigation service should be demilitarized but with brains
and strong personalities “who will be able to track all the tax evasion schemes,
existing conversion centers, the formation of illegal
tax benefits".
Arseniy Yatsenyuk reminded
that the previous year the Cabinet of Ministers had submitted an appropriate bill
to the Parliament and commissioned to prepare a draft law to submit to
Parliament an initiative regarding financial investigation service.
