OREANDA-NEWS. July 12, 2010. The State Tax Administration of Ukraine has proper authority to perform its functions. This opinion was expressed by Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Tigipko while answering questions posed by MPs at the latest "Government hour" in the Parliament.

Serhiy Tigipko has also said that there is no point in giving more powers to the tax police. "I am sure that they don’t need any additional powers. It would be better to effectively use those powers that they already possess", he said.

However, the Vice Prime Minister has said that the draft Tax Code provides strengthening the system of administration in some areas where there are often cases of tax evasion. But all these issues must be preliminary discussed with the business.
