For your reference: annual All-Ukrainian Rating of Good Taxpayers was established by Association of Taxpayers of Ukraine to boost the taxpayer’s role and authority in the life of nation and increase the general culture of paying taxes.
All-Ukrainian Rating was held in two rounds: the first round at regional level, the second round at the national level.
The rating winner was selected amongst 351 companies that won the regional round.
In addition to completeness and timeliness of tax payments, the main criteria for nominees’ selection were: the ratio of the income tax amount paid to the revenues gained, level of average salary (wages) at the company, number of workplaces and holding of socially significant social programs and charity campaigns. No other nationwide contest has similar integral selection criteria that would evidence how responsibly and transparently the companies fulfill their tax and social obligations.
