Resolution Essence:
A two-year experimental project for creating a unified anti-corruption unit within the State Tax Service (STS) structure is being introduced. This unit will have powers to prevent and detect corruption both in the central apparatus and in territorial STS bodies. The unit’s head will be directly subordinate to the STS Chairman, which should ensure its independence.
Structure and Main Provisions:
1. The resolution consists of a main part with organizational measures and a Project Implementation Procedure.
2. The coordinator (Ministry of Finance) and project participants (STS, territorial bodies, National Agency for Prevention of Corruption) are identified.
3. Clear terms are established for developing the structure and reporting on results.
4. The procedure defines the mechanism of work, subordination, and minimum staff size of the unit.
Key Application Provisions:
– The unit operates in accordance with the Law “On Corruption Prevention” and the Standard Regulation on the authorized unit
– Unit employees can perform functions directly in STS territorial bodies
– Minimum staff size is determined according to NAPC requirements, considering the total number of STS employees
– The unit head can be dismissed only while observing special guarantees provided by law
