Tax debt management: State Tax Service will adopt Belgium experience

We are committed to specific results and gradual implementation of modern European approaches” – emphasized Deputy Head of the State Tax Service Andrii Trotsko during the online meeting with team of the Federal Public Service Finance of Belgium.

- improvement of tax legislation aimed at simplifying collection procedures, expanding electronic interaction with taxpayers and increasing efficiency of the debt repayment instruments, taking into account principle of economic feasibility.
