Chairman of the AUB Accounting and Taxation Committee
In his speech, Bohdan Lukasevych, Chairman of the Committee, emphasized the importance of forming a working group from the Association of Ukrainian Banks to discuss the implementation of SAF-T UA with regulators to improve tax reporting and audit in Ukrainian banks.
SAF-T UA (Standard Audit File - Tax) - is an electronic reporting standard for the exchange of accounting data. This standard is part of the European reporting framework and uses the European format. Ukraine is implementing SAF-T UA to simplify and automate taxpayers' reporting to the state tax authorities, which is an important step towards European integration.
As a result of the meeting, it was decided that all committee members should submit their proposals for the nomination of representatives of their banks to form a working group. AUB will consolidate these proposals and prepare a letter to the State Tax Service of Ukraine for official approval of the working group.
