Acting State Tax Service chief Yurii Koniushenko met IMF and World Bank representatives to review completed reforms and identify the next steps in modernising tax administration. The State Tax Service of Ukraine reported the talks on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

The agency aims to secure stable and predictable budget revenue while encouraging voluntary compliance. A pilot tax-risk management project ended in July, and its findings have been submitted to the government ahead of a decision on the system’s future operation.

The next phase is expected to extend risk-based methods across the authority, improving both the detection of potential violations and the allocation of audit resources. With IMF assistance, the service is also designing performance indicators covering compliance, administrative quality, taxpayer services, audits, staffing and transparency rather than fiscal outcomes alone.

Recommendations from international experts have been incorporated into the tax authority’s digital development plan through 2030. The programme includes process automation, taxpayer segmentation, digital services, data use and compliance-risk management, with the IMF and World Bank expected to continue coordinating support for the transformation.
