Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky backs the position of the government to liquidate schemes optimizing tax payments through private entrepreneurs.

"All that they [the government] wanted was to overcome such corruption schemes. That is the point of this bill. That is why the decision was made. I think they are on the right track. And this will ensure that the economy leaves the shadows, everyone must pay taxes," Zelensky said during a press marathon in Kyiv on Thursday.

Earlier, Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk said that private entrepreneurs should not worry about further actions of the government, unlike a business that is optimizing tax payments thanks to a large number of registered private entrepreneurs.
