KYIV. Sept 6 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The switch of most of services of the State Fiscal Service to the online mode is one of its top new priorities, the Finance Ministry said on its website.
“It is necessary to reduce the human factor as soon as possible, automate the processes and move to the model when taxpayers can get online most of the services,” the press service said, citing Finance Minister Oleksandr Danyliuk on Tuesday.
According to the ministry, about 60% of contacts of payers with the State Fiscal Service are going through the payers servicing centers. Half of the visits have the purpose of filing tax reports and payments. However, 35 out of 55 tax administration services can be fully provided online, and the rest – partially.
According to a posting on the ministry’s website, among the main areas of the fiscal service reform approved at the meeting of the project management committee for the extensive reform of the State Fiscal Service, are automation of the audit process, optimization of work with tax debtors and efficient distribution of functions among the staff.
