On January 8, the Order of the Ministry of Finance No.936 of 26/11/2018, which approved Regulations on the Interdepartmental Working Group on the Implementation of Innovative Solutions to Register Payment Transactions (hereinafter – the IWG), entered into force.
The IWG’s task is to implement the Government’s Decision enriched in the CMU Resolution No.472 of 13/05/2018 “On the implementation of the relevant pilot project…”. The introduction of simplified procedures for using cash registers was also established in the Memorandum of Ukraine with the IMF on economic and financial policy of December 5, 2018, in particular, by introducing new technologies.
The Better Regulation Delivery Office takes an active part in the work of the IWG and expects the practical implementation of decisions approved in 2018 to facilitate the use of PTRs, namely:
- implementing a mechanism of electronic interaction between service centers and the SFS in the process of registration, repair and maintenance of PTRs (CMU Resolution No.496 of June 13, 2018 “On Amendments to the Procedure for Maintenance and Repair of Payment Transaction Recorders”);
- developing electronic procedures at all stages of registration and re-registration of PTRs upon one application (Order of the Ministry of Finance No.773 of 20/09/2018 “On Approval of Changes to the Procedure for Registration and Use of Payment Transaction Recorders…”);
- increasing functional capabilities and improving the SFS’s electronic service “fiscal sales receipt search”;
- approving and adopting a draft law on the reduction/cancellation of penalties for violating cash transaction rules in accordance with the Presidential Decree of 1995.
We appeal to manufacturers of cash registers, developers of specialized software, non-governmental organizations and banking institutions to constructively cooperate in improving the conditions of state regulation of trade rules in Ukraine. Please send the proposals at [email protected]
