Statement of the Press service department of the STA of Ukraine
February 19, 2001
Statement of the Press service department of
the STA of Ukraine
On February 15 this year the Ukrainian radio service “Svoboda” spread the information concerning a statement of one of the headers of the organization “Freedom House” as for “pressure of the tax service of Ukraine on the Ukrainian representative office of the American organization on rights protection “Freedom House”, and also as to “the Head of the STAU’s actions that threaten a democratic future of Ukraine”.
In view of this, the press service department of the STA of Ukraine has authority to declare:
The only one contact the state tax service in Ukraine had with the organization “Freedom House” was a letter of inquiry to the director of the program “Dim Svobody” in Kyiv John Kubints. Such a request for information is absolutely regular for a tax body performing its official duties. Each tax body sends similar letters every day. The text of the inquiry is cited below:
To “Director of the program “Freedom House”
John Kubints
--------------------------------------------------------
01034., Kyiv, 12/10 Malopidvalna street.
Ask to inform:
Is the citizen F.S.I, born on …., (passport ¹….) an employee of Your organization, if she is, so, since what time and what capacity she works in;
What is the rate of the F.C.I.’s wage? In addition ask to point monthly rates of wages paid sums and point if a citizen profit tax provided by the legislation of Ukraine and is obligatory to be paid was counted and withheld.
Was the citizen F.S.I. given directions from high officials of Your organization to sign a lease contract of the apartment located at the following address: Kyiv, 5…street, 55;
What purpose the apartment was used by the organization for, was an office of Your organization located at the addresses indicated. If the apartment was tented, so what documents on and how the payment for the rent of the apartment was made and other services related to the apartment operated? What expenses were to use the apartment and what the documents are they may be proved for each year;
Is Labunko Illia Mathew, the citizen of the USA, born on…. in New-York (passport ¹….) a employee of Your organization. If she is, so since what time and what capacity she works in;
What information do You have as to using the account ¹262009372, opened on November 26, 1996 with the JC “Ukrinbank” in favour of Labunko I.M., in what way and what purposes money on the account was used for;
In view of complete profit taxation of individuals and legal entities whose activities are examined ask to inform whom (individuals and legal entities), when, what form and what services for Your organization carried out money payments for whole period of the organization’s activity”.
What reasons caused this inquiry?
Pending investigation it was discovered that the citizen of Ukraine F. during 1998-2000 by Labunko I.M., the citizen of the USA’s order drew cash money from his own account with a payment intended – “private needs”. Money to the I.M. Labunko’s account received from the legal protection organization “Freedom House” (USA) with a payment intended – for Labunko I.M.”
The total sum of money drawn by the citizen of Ukraine by the citizen of the USA’s order from the account amounted 800 thousands dollars$. At the same time an income return the citizen F didn’t submit, she also was not engaged in any business activity and no documents concerning further movement of cash money are available. It gave legal grounds to find out an origin and further movement of a great deal of cash money.
It should be notice that such a way is in a custom of any country that is really engaged in combating money laundering.
It is defined that during 1999 the citizen F. had been engaged in business and financial operations with the Ukrainian representative office “Freedom House”, rented a flat for it, worked in the organization.
There are no documents as for business and financial activity of the representative office “Freedom House” in tax bodies of Ukraine.
There is also no an opportunity to receive explanations form Mr. Labunko I.M., because he is outside of Ukraine.
All it together became the ground for the written inquiry to the address of the representative office “Freedom House” and also for the international separate charge to the relative organs in the USA that is sent in the established order.
Answer to the request has not been received yet.
If it is the single written contact with the “Freedom House” became as a ground for claims and negative estimations of the STA of Ukraine’s activity on the part of the administration of the “Freedom House”, so we can only amaze it.
And to recommend to the legal protection organization to consult with the USA tax service: if it is left beyond their attention the fact that the citizen during two years by an order drew from the bank accounts nearly 800 thousands dollars$ in cash allegedly for “own needs”?
Perhaps in the USA there will not be only a letter.
Can such a letter of inquiry of the STA of Ukraine be regarded as pressure on anybody?
Isn’t the legal protection organization interested in fast, true and exhaustive answer?
It is amazing to watch such a reaction to the unprecedented steps of the state tax service in Ukraine related to establishing a transparency for public control system of routine inspections of enterprises – mass media.
This year the STA of Ukraine according to the Order ¹12 as of January 19, 2001 published a whole list and dates of checks of mass media. In inspections under the agreement of mass media may participate representatives of journalist public organizations? Not even saying about legal rights of a taxpayer to appeal to control organs and to lodge an appeal in a court.
No tax service in the world has made such actions of openness.
The State Tax Administration of Ukraine acted in such a way in order to exclude any grounds for accusing in prejudice, bias of tax bodies.
By the way, the National Journalists Union of Ukraine actively supports the state tax service’s actions.
The letter ¹ 41 as of February 13, 2001 from Ihor Lubchenko, the head of the NJUU with thanks to Mykola Y. Azarov for his initiative as for transparency in inspections of mass media approves it.
At the same time the State Tax Administration of Ukraine stresses that subjects to business activity, residents and non-residents, all without exception shall follow the tax legislation of Ukraine.
