According to the results of the first half of the year, the processing industry became the leader in the amount of taxes paid. This is 17.6% of the total amount of payments to the consolidated budget – almost every 5 hryvnia. This was reported on her Facebook page by the Acting Head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine Lesya Karnaukh.
“The country’s stability is measured not only by our ability to resist the enemy. It is also measured by whether the economy is working. Especially in conditions when the Russians are constantly attacking energy infrastructure, production and enterprises. Ukrainian business is becoming more and more difficult. But our business is invincible, despite extremely difficult conditions, it overcomes challenges, preserves jobs and pays taxes,” added Lesya Karnaukh.
