State Tax Service must do everything to ensure that the state has resources for defense. State Tax Service has exceeded revenue plan over 5 months. Its task remains unchanged – to fill the budget. This was emphasized by acting Head of the State Tax Service Lesia Karnaukh during a conference call with heads of structural departments and territorial bodies of the State Tax Service.

"We take into account all objective factors related to the enemy attacks, economic and seasonal factors. But in the fight against evasion and shadowing, we must be as determined as our defenders" – she added.

Tax Service must work out all risks and reserves, monitor completeness of tax declarations and their timely payment. And to do this, it must remain a business partner.

"We continue simple direct communication. Strategy of constant open dialogue, creation of consultation centers for clear explanations and roadmaps has already shown its effectiveness. We do not close ourselves off and do not hide from questions. Because only in cooperation result is born" – noted acting Head of the State Tax Service. 

Lesia Karnaukh set task for the State Tax Service’s apparatus and territorial departments to keep up the pace and hold regular meetings with the business community and the public.
