State Tax Service is interested in providing comprehensive assistance to the taxpayers, including informational assistance, so we continue the series of newsletter publications. This week we will talk about what commitments Ukraine has made and what is the implementation mechanism of the MLI Multilateral Convention. Convention entered into force on the 1^st of December 2019. Some of its provisions have already been applied starting from the 1^st January 2020, while others will be applied from the 1^st of June 2020.

Particularly, increasing transparency, counteracting aggressive tax planning schemes and combating artificial offshore profits should have a positive impact on economic competition between big, small and medium business.
