The State Tax Service of Ukraine and the Fiscal Policy Research Center (Fiscal Center) have signed a memorandum of cooperation. The agreement предусматриває the development of modern analytical tools that will help tax officials work faster and more efficiently as part of the reform of tax risk management.
According to Acting Head of the State Tax Service Lesia Karnaukh, this reform is ключовою in the context of implementing the National Revenue Strategy through 2030.
“This is a modern approach that will allow us to communicate with businesses as transparently and fairly as possible regarding tax payments and taxation in general. To truly be modern, we need new tools. Within this memorandum, together with the Fiscal Policy Research Center, we will develop a tool that will help quickly process lists of businesses to identify tax risks and act in accordance with the law,” she noted.
She added that the success of the reform directly depends on the quality and speed of modern tools for calculating and analyzing tax risks.
In turn, Viktor Maziarchuk, Head of the Fiscal Policy Research Center, emphasized that this cooperation will significantly reduce the time required for data processing.
“We will help the staff of the risk department perform their work several times faster. Essentially, we will move them from Excel to more advanced data processing methods. What currently takes a full day can be optimized to ten minutes or half an hour. In addition, we will train them to use Python and other modern technologies,” he explained.
The partnership also includes training tax officials in modern data analysis tools and automating complex processes that are currently performed manually.
