Tax chief: 4 million Ukrainians haven’t paid taxes in decade

There are nearly 30 million economically active Ukrainians aged 15–70, but 4.1 million of them haven’t paid any taxes over the last 10 years.

They represent a “lost decade” of taxation and “are invisible on the tax map of Ukraine,” Oleksiy Lyubchenko, head of the State Tax Service, said during a Dec. 18 appearance on the Freedom of Speech political talk show on the Ukraina TV сhannel.
