In his opinion, in order to so that everyone in the country began to pay taxeswill take two years. Shurma noted that the decision on the 10-10-10 tax reform will be made only after the understanding budget revenue compensators. Besides, Ukraine intends to consult on this с international partners, which are a key source of income at the moment.

"We must admit that we will be able to financially survive in this situation with the help of our international partners. Now the key thing is the support of our partners: we receive up to 60% from partners. Any decision on taxes will be approved after consultations with our partners and those who supports us financially, - he said.

The deputy head of the OP also clarified that basic concept of tax reform remains unchanged: 10% - income tax, 10% – personal income tax (personal income tax), 10% – VAT (Value Added Tax) and 3% - military collection.
