This document discusses Ukraine's tax reform efforts to support economic development. Key measures of the 2014 tax reform focused on increasing budget revenues through expanding excise taxes and property taxes. Rates for corporate and personal income taxes were also increased. However, the reform also aimed to enhance entrepreneurship by reducing some tax benefits and making the tax system more transparent and efficient to improve the business climate. Overall, the tax changes helped address fiscal consolidation but further reforms are still needed to minimize taxes' negative impact on growth and bring more business out of the shadow economy.

This is a presentation on aspects of the recent performance of the UK economy. All students are expected to have a good contextual knowledge of recent trends in indicators such as economic growth, inflation, unemployment, the trade balance, interest rates and government borrowing.
This forecast was done in a highly volatile environment and under assumptions that may not turn out to be true. We assume most of the economic activity restrictions to be lifted by the end of the second quarter. We expect substantial damage to the economy from domestic restrictions and lower external demand. A gradual recovery is expected in the second half of 2020, but economic activity will remain lower than the pre-crisis level. We project real GDP to fall by 5.9% in 2020. Consumer inflation is forecasted to accelerate only to 7.5% yoy in December as weak demand will limit the impact of higher inflation expectations and weaker hryvnia. We used UAH 28.7 per USD as an average 2020 exchange rate in forecast calculations.

12. Taxation and Economic Development are strongly connected with a
variety of governance regulation tools of economic nature involving
broad features of taxes, fees, charges and the tax-equivalent effects of
expenditures (including transfers and subsidies)
Key tasks of the tax reform
Improvement of the investment climate, strengthening the position of
domestic producers within tax competition among post-socialist EU
countries
Creation of the tax incentives to gradually bring the business out of the
shadow
Minimization of the negative impact of taxes on economic growth
through further development of the tax burden transfer processes from
mobile factors of production - labor and capital - to real estate,
consumption, resources and environmental charges
Reduction of corruption level and restoring the public confidence in the
State Fiscal Service of Ukraine
Improvement of the mechanism to ensure the taxpayers' rights
protection by creating an effective system of dispute settlement with
tax issues within the procedure of administrative appeal and in the
courts
13. Tax reform carried out in late 2014, has basically solved the task of ensuring fiscal
consolidation in Ukraine. In particular, by the first six months of 2015 the share of taxes
in GDP has risen to 26.5% compared to 23.5% in 2014
