People's deputies intend to reboot the Bureau of Economic Security, writes EP.

This was stated by the head of the Tax Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Danylo Hetmantsev, at the Forum “Dialogue of Civil Society, Business and Government,” reports Financial Club.

The deputy stated that his position regarding the activities of the BEB, despite the fact that he is the author of the law establishing this body, is “unequivocally negative.”

«"The law was good, but we're not seeing any results," the deputy said. "We created this body to prevent a repeat of what the tax police did. But 80% of the bureau's staff are former tax officers. And the entire tax service's leadership has transferred to the bureau. So the question is: why did we do this? Therefore, of course, we now need to reboot the BEB."“- said Getmantsev.

In a comment to EP, the people's representative confirmed that he does not advocate the liquidation of the body, but rather its reboot.

Yaroslav Zheleznyak, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee, announced on Telegram that the Bureau's reboot will involve two actions:

  • Restrictions on employment in the BEB for employees of the tax police and the dismissal of such employees from management positions:
  • dismissal of the Chairman of the BEB for the recognition by the Council of the activity report as unsatisfactory or failure to submit such a report.

In a commentary to EP, Zheleznyak noted that the Rada's Tax Committee intends to adopt an amendment to the law on the State Tax Service, which will allow for the dismissal of its chairman in the near future.
