There is a real problem with value-added tax (VAT) refunds in Ukraine, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said.
“I admit that there are problems with VAT refunds. But this is, among other things, due to the aftermath of the economic crisis and the fact that some Ukrainian enterprises are unable to pay profit tax,” she said at a Lviv international economic forum in Truskavets in Lviv region on Friday.
However, she said, VAT refunding is not in the direct competence of the Ukrainian prime minister, but is in the sphere of activity of the State Tax Administration.
