The reform of tax administration is carried out by the STS in accordance with two key documents: the Memorandum with the IMF on Economic and Financial Policy and the National Revenue Strategy of Ukraine until 2030. I informed the representatives of the IMF mission about what we are already doing to transform approaches to administration and change management. We focused on specific areas where we need particularly enhanced support.

According to him, the state of implementation of the IMF's benchmarks by the STS was also discussed:

Compliance. It is about expanding the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) model - from an experiment to a full-fledged system integrated into the work of the entire STS, including territorial bodies;

Area of integrity. We are creating a new model for assessing trust in the service together with our Finnish colleagues - based on surveys and analysis of their results. We are also working with them on structuring the ethical model of the service - developing a Code of Integrity.
