«The Russian enemy deliberately and methodically strikes Ukrainian business. Every attack is a conscious plan to weaken the economy. Because business is the economic resilience of the country. Despite extremely difficult conditions, it does everything to work, preserve jobs, and pay taxes. And our task is to help those who continue to work despite all challenges. Because these are funds for our security and defense, and social payments,» added Lesia Karnaukh.
The State Tax Service provides support to entrepreneurs who, due to Russian aggression, are unable to fulfill their tax obligations. The agency helps companies affected by shelling to apply the mechanism of the Ministry of Finance order No. 225. Specialists provide consultations regarding the confirmation of the impossibility of fulfilling obligations and promptly review relevant applications.
