Chief of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine Roman Nasirov has said that tax amnesty should not be announced in 2016.

"I was in the parliamentary committee when the so-called tax compromise, which in fact is a tax amnesty, was approved. It was necessary. We had to draw a line. It is very difficult to do this now as such action could be interpreted as a wrong signal – tax amnesties [will be held] every year," he said during the Swedish-Ukrainian Business Forum in Kyiv on Monday.

Nasirov added that he supports the idea of pre-trial settlement of disputes between businesses and tax authorities.
