Ukrainian Taxpayer Group Celebrates Decade of Progress
Few nations in the world have suffered as much oppression at the hands of
others than Ukraine, which is all the more reason why its proud people recently
had reason to celebrate their victories for limited government. In late November,
several hundred members of the Ukrainian Taxpayers Association (UTA) gathered
in the capital of Kiev to mark their 10th anniversary.
UTA has 6,753
corporate and individual members from more than 25 regions and 257 local
associations. The group's mission includes defending taxpayers
from the arbitrary tax administration, guiding taxpayers through complicated
tax laws, educating taxpayers through weekly seminars, and providing arbitration
work and advice in civil courts.
The UTA event
drew the participation of public officials, including the Minister of Justice,
President, and Prime Minister of Ukraine, the Mayor of Kiev, and the Head
of the Tax Administration. Taxpayers even came from out of the country
to attend the celebration, arriving from Germany, Poland, Russia, and Sweden,
including the Taxpayers Associations of Europe's Michael Jaeger and World
Taxpayers Association (WTA) Secretary General Bjorn Tarras-Wahlberg. Click here for
