The European Tax Awards 2020 ranking conducted by International Tax Review (ITR) recognized PwC in Ukraine and several other countries as a Regional Tax Policy Firm of the Year.
The ranking agency marked the contribution of the PwC Ukraine team in maintaining an active dialogue with the authorities on simplifying paying tax procedures as well as distilling world experience while advising Ukraine’s authorities on the taxation of different industries. In particular, for the last 15 years, PwC has been conducting the survey called Paying Taxes evaluating the ease of paying taxes in 190 countries across the globe. The results of this survey are taken into account in the World Bank’s process of preparing its Doing Business report.
The agency also highly evaluated the contribution of the PwC Ukraine team in the development of the Ukrainian government’s assessment methodology for those applying for Authorised Economic Operator status. It makes the process of customs clearance easier and allows the applying business to plan its logistics more efficiently.
In addition, on their own initiative and with the support of the management of the University of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, PwC Ukraine has been sharing valuable insights from the international taxation field and world’s best practices with students for the last 10 years.
“I am glad that independent experts have once again praised the efforts of PwC’s teams to bring to the attention of the authorities the problems of business in the tax area; as well as our assistance in finding solutions to improve the investment climate in Ukraine. This award confirms that our many years of experience and expertise in the PwC network in 157 countries around the world helps build trust in society and solve important problems”,
"One of the main tasks of PwC is to build an effective dialogue between government and business. We are always happy to join a dialogue with the government to help find balanced solutions for the prosperity of business in Ukraine and raise our country's rating in the global economic arena”,
