To date, 52 thousand individuals – entrepreneurs registered on the simplified taxation system have already installed registrars of settlement operations. Herewith, the majority of registrars of settlement operations were installed during this year. For comparison: cash registers were used by 23 – 25 thousand single tax payers in 2020 and very few in 2019. This was stated by acting Chairman of the STS Yevhen Oleinikov in an interview with “Economichna Pravda”.

According to him, of the total number of individuals – entrepreneurs about 2 million of them, there is 1.5 million registered on the simplified taxation system. Of these, excluding those entrepreneurs who are employees (approximately 10%) have an obligation to use cash registers. That is, the vast majority of those who have to use registrars of settlement operations have already installed them.

 “Currently, we are trying to inform those entrepreneurs whose activities involve presence of registrars of settlement operations that the moment is approaching when they should be established. After January 1, we will address and remind that while the moratorium is in force, it is necessary to use it, to install registrars of settlement operations and to start using it. That is, at the first stage we will mostly persuade” – stated Yevhen Oleinikov.  

He particularly emphasized that tax authorities will apply a control function to those who continue to ignore the law.

“Our philosophy is something like this: more than 70% of taxpayers are virtuous. That is, they comply with the law and are ready to comply with it. We must ensure that the remaining 30% comply with these rules. If we cannot ensure this, then fair business will not tolerate unfair competition and will also evade compliance with rules. As follows, if we put point pressure on the most outspoken, most daring violators, we will perform not so much a fiscal function as a demonstration one.” – assured Yevhen Oleinikov.
