State Tax Service continues a cycle of training seminars for its employees on the law provisions regarding the one-time voluntary declaration.

Currently, the tax specialists are involved in development of regulations necessary for implementation of the law and relevant IT support. In a short time, they should not only learn all provisions of the law, but also clearly explain them to the taxpayers. Seminars for tax specialists are being held across the country to ensure that counseling level to the taxpayers is at an extremely high level.

“We must make every effort to ensure that the one-time declaration is held at a high level and that everyone can take advantage of it. This process must be transparent, verified, which will convince the public that correct, legal declaration of assets and proper payment of tax has actually taken place. This is not just a legalization of funds, but in fact a part of new social contract, when a certain page is turned and new relationship begins” – emphasized acting Chairman of the STS Yevhen Oleinikov during the online seminar.

He also emphasized that for the STS, the first priority will be a proper implementation of procedures, ensuring their convenience and stable implementation. Second is quality control over these processes, indicators that will be obtained, proper response and prevention of abuse by both taxpayers and tax officials.

In turn, Deputy Chairman of the STS for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitization Natalia Kalenichenko noted the need for broad outreach and explanatory work among the taxpayers. Further actions of potential declarants depend on the quality of STS’s answers to the taxpayers’ questions.

Questions and answers on the law specifics regarding the one-time voluntary declaration will be carefully processed and included in the Knowledge Base so that they can be used by both taxpayers and the STS’s employees.

During today’s seminar, participants discussed in detail which assets are subject to declaration, how to determine a basis for charging the one-time levy for the declaration objects, possibility of applying alternative levy rates, and so on.

Possibilities of using electronic services, which can be used for submitting the one-time voluntary declaration, were also explained.

Declaration will be submitted personally by the declarants exclusively in electronic form by means of the E-cabinet. At the same time, they will receive assistance in filling in the declaration and explanations on filling in the sections. Declarant will be able to fill in, send the declaration and pay certain tax liabilities using payment systems. The E-cabinet will also display results of reconciling declaration with data from the State Register of Individuals. In case of non-compliance, the taxpayer will receive a notification.

For the declarant’s convenience in a separate menu of the E-cabinet will be displayed all types of declarations (reporting, new reporting, clarifying), results of their processing, notifications, status of settlements to the budget and more.
