State Tax Service of Ukraine Dismisses 2 Odesa Deputies Over Work Issues

The head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, Roman Kravchenko, has decided to dismiss two deputy heads of the Odesa Main Department of the tax service.

According to the chief tax officer of Ukraine, he made this decision due to the inadequate organization of work in the areas headed by these deputies.

These are Mykola Borodyuk and Anar Aleskerov.

The former was responsible, among other things, for:

• compliance with tax legislation, legislation on the administration of the unified social tax and legislation on other issues, the control over which is entrusted to the State Tax Service
• control over the legitimacy of budgetary refunds of value added tax (within the competence of subordinate structural units);
• applying financial (penalty) sanctions (fines) to taxpayers (single contribution payers) for violation of tax legislation or legislation on other issues, which the STS is responsible for monitoring, within the scope of its competence.

The second was responsible for maintaining the Register of Debtor Taxpayer Managers, and for installment plans, deferrals and restructuring of monetary liabilities and tax debt, as well as arrears of the single contribution. He also had more than 10 other areas of work for which he was responsible.

The head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine did not say what exactly these officials failed to do. Roman Kravchenko also received a complaint from Odesa winemakers about the illegal activities of the State Tax Service employees in terms of controlling the turnover of excisable goods, namely wine materials.

For some time, Mykola Borodyuk was the head of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Odesa region. The previous head of the tax service , Ruslan Khvan , was transferred to head the tax authorities in Lviv region.
