The Income and Tax Ministry of Ukraine is planning in 2013 to open seven additional service centers for taxpayers.

The ministry's press service said that at present 469 service centers operate in all regions of Ukraine. The network of service facilities was established in the past year.

"It is expected that service centers for taxpayers will provide services related to customs operations and the administration of single social contribution. In particular, from February 6, 2013, customs officials, customs brokers and foreign trade subjects can obtain digital signatures at representative offices accredited by the key certification centers of the State Tax Service of Ukraine located at service centers for taxpayers," reads a statement.
