About a hundred entrepreneurs are picketing the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, protesting against the extension of the rights of the State Tax Service and demanding the withdrawal from consideration by parliament of a bill introducing amendments to the Tax Code and other legislative acts drawn up by the State Tax Service.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that the protesters were holding flags with the symbols of the Fortetsia All-Ukrainian Association of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, as well as the flags of Vitali Klitschko's UDAR Party.

Some protesters are holding banners with the inscriptions "No to Corruption" and "No to Cash Registers, No to Arrest of Property."

The rally is being held peacefully. The protesters are planning to finish their rally outside the building of the Verkhovna Rada.
