In particular, during the presentation of the new head of tax service, Mykola Azarov has stressed the need to continue dialogue with the business: "We must remember that our entrepreneurs, our business is in a difficult situation, when in the world, there are such complex processes. But it should continue to work."

Another extremely important area of activity of the State Tax Service – is working with the VAT refund. According to the Head of Government, this operation is actively led throughout two years, and in this time this problem managed to be decided partially: "We have considerably removed the stress connected to indebtedness with payment by the VAT.

It concerns not only oil products, but also of excisable goods such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco." The Head of Government has stressed that problems exist in terms of administration of pension contributions. This issue is closely connected with the payment of taxes on individuals, the administration of wages.

As he said, the State Tax Service should give special attention of an output of the salary from a shade, and to payment of pension contributions. . "This is one of the most important tasks now facing the state and the State Tax Service in particular," Mykola Azarov has underlined.

However, the Prime Minister is confident that new leadership should continue operation on modernizing of tax service. "This work never stopped: the Tax Service has always distinguished by the fact that it worked in the form of advanced technologies. But, nevertheless, it is important, that the State Tax Service was transparent, understandable to a society, is accessible, and any entrepreneur should be clearly seen in the context of real-time all their payments, all their relations with the state. As soon as we will make it, a fight against corruption issue will be removed."
