Following the discussion, the President instructed the office of the national security Council to study these issues and to consider during one of the next meetings” – noted the AP.
A preliminary analysis of the public register of applications for refund of VAT made it possible to see such examples of possible abuse that require further analysis and study:
- failure to comply with the order of priority, the inclusion of statements about the VAT refund;
- izmenenie the date of conclusion of the territorial body GFS of reparation;
- violation of terms of approval of reimbursement of VAT;
- a significant number of applications for reimbursement for which there is a violation of the terms of the agreement, or non-existent data on the validation of the SFS.
- the provision of temporary preferences for one indemnity companies in front of other

Our challenge is to offer analytical tools that allow to process big data GFS identify patterns of abuse and manipulation. The proposed model makes it impossible to make any changes to the database of the SFS from the Administration of the President of Ukraine”, – says the AP.
