In October of the current year the SFS overfulfilled
the target showings of the state general fund budget by 3.2 billion UAH. This
was stated by Chairman of the SFS Roman Nasirov
during a briefing at the press center of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on
November 5.
According to him, in October taxpayers have paid UAH 41.6 billion UAH, whereas,
in general throughout 10 months of the current year – UAH 383 billion.
"We have fulfilled the task set by the Government and filled the state
budget providing performance above target. The demonstrated by taxpayers pace
enabled to beat the target fixed by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine in May-October
by UAH 8.9 billion, not to mention that the revenues of the budget upped in
September of this year", explained Roman Nasirov.
The SFS Chairman also
noted record-high volumes of VAT collection. An average monthly showing in
August-October has risen up to UAH 9 bn, whereas in
January-May this indicator was at the level of UAH 6.8 billion. Such results
have proved possible due to the closure of shadow schemes.
As of November 1, the
taxpayers have been reimbursed UAH 52.5 billion of the value added tax to their
accounts. By the end of year it is planned to repay another UAH 12.6 bn.
The total economic
impact of the SFS activity through May-October makes up UAH 31.4 billion. It includes
both additional revenues of the budget and reducing the debt of the state
before taxpayers.

of the State Fiscal Service. Thus, in particular, the staff
of the agency is being renewed. The Service has employed a new team of HR specialists
with experience in business, which is engaged in work to verify the staff in
order to leave only skilled and conscientious professionals in the agency. In addition, international
cooperation in reforming the customs has transferred to the new stage: large-scale
international activities aimed primarily at enhancing foreign investment in
the economy of Ukraine and introduction of joint customs control at
checkpoints across the state border. Another direction is gearing up for coming

international technical assistance, the major donors of which for the SFS are
the European Union, governments of the U.S.A., Germany and the Republic of
