Ukraine Urged To Complete Tax and Legal Reform

by Tatiana Smolenska, Tax-News.com, Moscow

21 April 2004

Ukraine must concentrate on tax reform and widening its tax base, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has recommended.

At the organisation’s London meeting, held on 18-19 April, the EBRD noted that the country has already taken important steps towards this end through key legislative actions, such as reductions in corporate and personal income tax, pension reform and a new mortgage law, all taking effect at the beginning of the year.

However, the bank also stated that the country’s future level of investment will hinge on the creation of a stable tax environment, in addition to legal reform aimed at creating an impartial judicial system.

Ukraine secured its removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s list of Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories at a plenary meeting in Paris in March 2004.
