Plektan Institute of Real Estate Development of Ukraine is working together with business associations to eliminate the "presumption of guilt"

Our taxation system is based on discretion and presumption of guilt, meaning that fiscal authorities place the burden of proof on entrepreneurs, and fiscal authorities need only make accusations to impose additional costs on a business or even block its activities. The presumption of guilt in tax and customs administration is contrary to international practices, national legislation of Ukraine (the Tax and Customs Codes) and serves as one of the key factors in suppressing economic development.

The first stage of our advocacy is for the society to accept the unacceptable (impossible) idea of the "presumption of guilt" and open a window of discourse (the Overton Window).

➡️ We ask you to join the work and sign the petition developed by the Business Ombudsman's Office together with us - https://petition.kmu.gov.ua/petitions/6286
