Business Against Tax: measure victory

Business demands heard. Key conflict issues around the tax code as if resolved. What we have in the dry residue in an exclusive interview UBR told Oksana Prodan, chairman of the Council of Entrepreneurs under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in 2008 - 2010 year. UBR: The President in his remarks to the Tax Code removed the exclusionary rule. Nevertheless, there is dissatisfaction and that. What is your assessment of those standards that we have received as a result of voting on December 2? OP: I want to congratulate all entrepreneurs, especially small businesses that are able to ensure that the simplified system will remain and will work next year and hopefully in the future. That - largely because in the Code, which was before the supposed practice of its destruction. Entrepreneurs were able to prove its position and will now be able to work on. This - the main thing. Indeed, were adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of the comments of the President, which simplified the system is virtually in its entirety, and remains for the future is what it is today. There are only a few rules that will be a little tougher than it is today. Just do not have to be up to 500 thousand cash registers. Will not have to cost accounting, but will have a mandatory pension contributions to pay those who have. And a separate question, which we will finalize. Will not be allowed to take on the costs of those payments, which will be the payers of income tax in favor of natural persons - entrepreneurs. That is, if the payments are made in favor of legal entities on a single tax, the payments will be taken for expenses if the payments to individuals on a single tax, it will not do so. This is - a separate nuance and, in principle, the entrepreneurs, who today have a relationship with entities, payers of income tax will have the opportunity to be as legal entities on a single tax. UBR: With regard to individuals who lose the opportunity to work with big business, it will have some negative implications for small businesses? OP: This is a position that did not want to hear, constantly saying that it is best used as an evasion of tax big business. And due to the fact that retained a simplified system for legal persons, let it not become better, but it is saved, and individuals to work with law, will be able to re-register. UBR: Today there is the possibility of an individual re-register and actually perform the same amount of work to have those same customers? OP: What's more, the amount for the implementation of twice as much for businesses than for individuals. UBR: no bad without good. OP: I would not say it - a great happiness, but way out of this prohibition is legitimate, lawful - there. That's good, because we have one of the major issues for the last edition of the code was just a ban for businesses to use a single tax. UBR: What are the risks for those who work for a single tax now? OP: The single tax, but the ban to take on the costs to individuals, remains in a form which is alive today. Those payments, which were - the market charges, patents, and more. Market dues regards the flat tax the most, and it's one of those rules, which for me is open to question. Because in the edition of the Code, adopted at the suggestion of the President, the terms of recovering the single tax and flat tax. Without restrictions for activities without the restrictions that were offered before this. But there is no recovery of market fee, a flat tax are entitled to pay only for those who pay market dues. And due to the fact that the market fee abolished this Tax Code, I for myself as a former auditor understand that the flat tax will not. However, along with entrepreneurs, we felt that most markets have a market fee of more than 100 hryvnia per month. Therefore, mathematically, the entrepreneurs in the money on a single tax would pay less. The only nuance - they will have less turnover, because until now flat tax - it's 119,000 hryvnia for them is notebook. This notebook, Form 10, which recorded the number of revenue, income and type, from which proceeds. No accounting of expenses will not need to do. UBR: About those conflicts that arise between the small and medium businesses. They say, though those concessions that have gone power, accepting the Tax Code, are designed to split the small and medium businesses. What there are nuances that are worth understanding? OP: Small & Medium Business quarreled among themselves not never went out together on the Maidan, but the main issues - a simplified tax system and tax administration authority and other regulatory authorities. UBR: A ??repressive role of the Revenue Commissioners has been removed from this edition? OP: Some things are written better than even today. It's strange, but there is. And that is very scary for employees, for business, where authority inspectors, who come and never want it to show the direction for review. There are specific established standards that oblige them to provide a receipt for these areas. There are rules that impose for the first time financially responsible for damages caused by unlawful actions of the tax. Removed the possibility of the tax itself, without a court order to implement the arrest of property, ie, a list of restrictions on authority to tax is, in this edition, which was voted in parliament. UBR: Meanwhile, at least, simplified tax system is waiting for reform, it officially notified and instructed the Cabinet of Ministers. Azarov hopes that the simplified tax system is reformed, this Friday, he said. And there are literally 2 months was given out to develop their proposals, to hear the business, to hear the deputies. Express your suggestions for a simplified tax system. What it should be? OP: On the simplified taxation reform say since 2005. Even then Ksenia Lyapina was prepared by the business such a bill. Last year we were preparing for such a project with Alexandra Kuzhel. And it definitely will. I am pleased that today, when the government saw that small and medium business will be organized, and he can assert their rights, the bill that would qualify, will definitely prepare us. UBR: What are the main targets? OP: Definitely, for legal persons must leave the simplified system and provide increased volumes, and to submit proposals that the rate should be 3, 5% instead of the current 6, 10. We have colleagues who are prepared and have a proposal for an entirely different mechanisms of corporate tax. Most businesses are inclined to bet on turnover. Is the position of the Union of economists of Ukraine concerning the rate of sales. This - the minimum allowance for all this and do not need to control all costs. It's - something we fear, than abuse of tax administration. Definitely, it is necessary to increase turnover by introducing a normal, transparent arrangements. For individuals, I know, is preparing a law on crafts. Hopefully, with this law and determine what it is, employers will no longer be called by those who are abusing the possibilities of simplifying the system and will work quietly as a self-employed persons. It's important just at the beginning of the business. UBR: The dialogue was held, it will last, this was announced and it has certain expectations. OP: It's not so held, as we would like, but once again I want to say that small, medium business today got its way. And I hope in future we will not have to leave the area.
