State Fiscal Service head Melnyk decided to gain publicity by talking about the fight against tax fraud.

The head of the State Fiscal Service, Vadim Melnik, posted on social media Facebook a post and video describing his department's effective fight against so-called VAT "rollbacks."

"Tax violations cause significant damage to society as a whole through underpaid wages, pensions, subsidies, and underfunded healthcare and infrastructure. According to statistics, every fifth hryvnia of VAT paid by the end consumer for any product is siphoned off from legitimate economic activity to benefit tax fraudsters."

We're talking about so-called VAT "rollbacks," financial fraud that allows businesses to receive fictitious VAT tax credits or, conversely, "sell" them. In this way, the fraudsters pocket additional profits at the expense of the state and honest taxpayers.

Combating tax evasion was identified as one of the primary objectives of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine upon my appointment as head of the agency. Initial results are already evident: during the first months of 2021, together with the State Tax Service of Ukraine, we managed to reduce the monthly volume of VAT evasion by more than UAH 1 billion. However, we will not rest on our laurels and will continue to work with other government agencies to disrupt fraudulent schemes.

"For detailed information on how tax evasion works and the State Fiscal Service's methods for combating it, watch the pinned video," the official wrote in his post.
