Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi believes that lustration lists should be compiled for those who hide taxes and work in the shadows. As a result of the shortfall in two main budget-forming taxes – corporate profit tax and personal income tax – the city authorities barely managed to ensure salary payments to public sector employees, but cannot find money for meals for schoolchildren and the sick, or purchase consumables for medicine and municipal services. According to the tax inspectorate, a third of city enterprises of various forms of ownership did not pay profit tax. Therefore, the budget received almost 3 million hryvnias less. Every fifth enterprise in Lutsk pays its employees less than 262 hryvnias, which is the official minimum. Consequently, from personal income tax the city received another one and a half million hryvnias less. Therefore, for now not a lustration but a control list of the city hall includes almost 100 Lutsk enterprises that do not pay profit taxes, or remit amounts that do not correspond to their incomes, and do not officially reflect real wages. The meeting of the heads of such enterprises with the chief tax officials of Lutsk and Volyn, initiated by the mayor, is a kind of last warning before active actions. A similar analysis will be conducted again in early March. And to those who do not start working transparently, the mayor promised to create a negative image among the community, and to persuade the employees of such enterprises to leave the firms where they are being cheated.
