Ukraine debates creating a single business inspection body

Last week, the Ukrainian government approved a bill that would fully resume business inspections from October.  

Before that, in June, the Verkhovna Rada—the Ukrainian parliament—passed a law providing for the resumption of business inspections in the so-called risky areas—finance, excisable goods, and gambling.

However, even without full-scale inspections, businesses in Ukraine are already complaining about tax and law enforcement officers’ increased pressure and the return to the ‘criminalisation’ of their cases.
