The regional center of Volyn accounts for 44% of all taxes collected in the region. In terms of VAT payment, this figure is 54%, corporate income tax – 53%, – reported on September 6 during an operational meeting in the city executive committee by Lutsk city mayor Anton Kryvytskyi.\n\n\nThe fact that Lutsk residents are the "most public" taxpayers in the region, according to Anton Kryvytskyi, is evidenced by the fact that the population of the regional center, which constitutes about 20% of the region's population, pays 45% of the region-wide revenues from personal income tax.\n\n\nOverall, the share of Lutsk residents in the payment of the total volume of all taxes collected in the region is 44%.\n\n\nGiven the increase in revenues from personal income taxes and stable rates of industrial growth (119.7% over 8 months of operation), the city mayor expressed confidence that the recently upwardly revised city budget for 2005 will be fulfilled.\n\n
