Today, Saturday, April 1, the Ministry of Finance has launched an electronic register of VAT refunds.

Now every entrepreneur can online to check what is the status of his payment “, – is spoken in the message.

How to work the new registry?

All incoming information in the registry forms the DFS on the basis of demands of the business and secures it with digital signature. DFS enters this information into the registry. After that, the approval of the amount is given no more than 30 days (in cases stipulated by law – 60 days) and automatically refund on the next day after the end of this period.

Compensation occurs in chronological order (entrepreneur, first filed, first receives funds under all other equal conditions) and on a daily basis. Previously VAT was reimbursed in the last 5 days of the month. With this approach, the entrepreneurs were not able to plan well in advance. Now to return the VAT will be in any day of the month after approval of the amount, so the business can better plan their activities and will receive additional working capital, starting from 10-th of each month.

Meanwhile, the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stressed: “Electronic registry allowed us to remove the” tax pits “, which just throws the VAT from the air. Undertook nowhere, and allowed to steal from the state”.
