Ukraine: tax administration bickers with AP ministry on farmers' VAT

The head of State tax administration of Ukraine said on January 30 press-conference that STAU advocates for price-cutting and following low elimination on agrarian added cost.

This proposal didn't meet with approval among APM. In the judgment of Kireev, agrarians are against price-cutting as agriculture activities aren't "opaque".

The head of STA also added this is reduction of tax pressure for villages but Agrarian Policy Ministry doesn't want to come to meet the proposal. He also said that discussion on cutting taxation for fish industry, forestry and agriculture must be continued.
