“Expert groups with representatives from SFS and BOC will be set up next week. We are going to consider complaints BOC has consolidated and strive for finding solutions for both generalized complaints and individual cases,” says SFS Head Roman Nasirov.
The Memo envisages information exchange between departments, expert help for eliminating problems that restrict business activity.
“Signing the Memo is an impetus towards creating a platform to discuss the specifics of complains we receive on SFS and find a way to solve them. Cooperation should lead to improvement of the business climate that Ukrainian entrepreneurs long for so much,” says Business Ombudsman Algirdas Šemeta.
BOC is currently elaborating recommendations on tax administration, including painful issues, such as VAT refund delays, electronic declaration, system of appeals and abuse of power during inspections. Recommendations will be presented at the end of October in the BOC’s second quarterly report.
