The blocking of tax invoices is the destruction of respectable producers - the chairman of the USBA Iryna Palamar

For several months in a row, manufacturers have faced serious obstacles in the conduct of their legitimate economic activities. It is about blocking and stopping registration of tax invoices of economic entities in connection with the introduction of an automatic system for registration of tax bills. Since July 1 this year, more than 500,000 tax invoices have been blocked, leading to the shutdown of enterprises and significant financial losses.

A significant part of the enterprises, members of the Association of Livestock Breeders of Ukraine, play a key role in the development of the agricultural sector, also became victims of the blocking of tax bills.

"Already for almost five months we have received numerous complaints from members of our Association for the automatic blocking of tax invoices, which is why business cannot normally conduct business activities," says Iryna Palamar, chairperson of the USBA. - For example, recently two hundred and sixty-five tax bills for a total of more than 23 million UAH, issued to buyers of finished goods, were blocked from one of the leader's feed enterprises ".

The main problem why the tax invoices are blocked, the experts of the Association consider imperfect the system of assessing the risk criteria sufficient for stopping the registration of the tax invoice, led by the order of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine No. 567 of June 13, 2017 "On Approval of the Criteria for Assessing the Risk Level Sufficient for Stopping the Registration of the Tax Invoice / calculation of adjustments in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices, and an exhaustive list of documents sufficient to make a decision on the registration of tax invoice / calculation adjustments ", with final amendments dated November 9, 2017.

In addition, the procedure of unlocking tax bills is also imperfect.
In the deliberate creation of such a situation, the USBA specialists see not just the destruction of Ukrainian business, but also a criminal offense under article 206 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "Counteracting legal economic activity". Although this is probably worse than a crime, it is a mistake by government officials, which they are not yet rushing to correct.

In this regard, the Ukrainian Stock Breeders Association sent an official appeal to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Parubii A., Prime Minister of Ukraine Hroisman V., First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Minister of Economic Development and Trade Ukraine Kubiv S., Minister of Finance of Ukraine Danyliuk O., acting as the Chairman of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine Prodana M., in which she substantiated the essence of the problem in detail and outlined possible ways to solve it.

In particular, the USBA requested to cancel the order of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine No. 567 of June 13, 2017 "On approval of the Criteria for assessing the degree of risks sufficient to stop the registration of the tax invoice / calculation of adjustments in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices, and an exhaustive list of documents sufficient to make a decision on the registration of the tax invoice / calculation of adjustments ", which approved the Criteria for assessing the degree of risks sufficient to stop the registration of the tax invoice and improve the system of registration of tax bills.

"To date, there is actually the destruction of Ukrainian business and, unfortunately, because of the initially kind of good goal pursued by the state - identifying fictitious enterprises or commercial transactions, avoiding fraud with illegal VAT refunds - why the conscientious Ukrainian business producers suffer agrarian products, " says Iryna Palamar.

This question, at the request of the agrarians, is also violated by the Association of Livestock Breeders of Ukraine and at the level of the public of the formation of public policy. So, on the website of electronic petitions of the official Internet representation of the President of Ukraine Petition No. 22/041186-ep "Canceling the blocking of tax bills" has already been registered.
