The State Tax Service is consciously working to reduce the number of inspections. This is a change in approach in interaction with business. Because trust and constant dialogue are more effective than pressure.
After the introduction of the moratorium, the number of actual inspections decreased by more than a quarter – 27%. This was reported on her Facebook page by the Acting Head of the State Tax Service, Lesya Karnaukh.
“While in July 2025 we conducted about 3.6 thousand actual inspections, then in December 2025 their number decreased to 2.6 thousand. We are removing artificial obstacles. A business that keeps the economy going, pays taxes and salaries, despite the constant attacks of the enemy, should receive proper support from the state,” she added.
At the same time, Lesya Karnaukh noted that support would be provided where everything was honest and transparent. She reminded that the moratorium on inspections was not about a complete ban.
“Control does not disappear, the State Tax Service is actively implementing a risk-based approach. We focus only on real risks and violations,” she said.
A similar approach was applied when drawing up the inspection schedule for this year. Everything is open and clear.
Another important thing. Inspections have not been canceled for business entities that operate in the field of circulation of excisable goods.
“The challenges are extraordinary. And everyone must be responsible. Everyone benefits from this: both business and the state,” added Lesya Karnaukh. (State Tax Service)
