The blocking of tax invoices in January decreased to 0.5%. And this is not the limit
5 February 08:49
Almost 5.7 thousand business entities have been excluded from the list of risky ones, and the rate of blocking tax invoices has decreased to 0.5% since the beginning of the year. This was announced during a conference call with the heads of the territorial bodies of the State Tax Service of Ukraine by Ruslan Kravchenko, the head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, Komersant ukrainskyi reports.
According to the official, one of the reasons for blocking invoices, especially for companies that grow or produce their own products, service providers, is the lack of a data table.
“Most of the missing tables are in Dnipropetrovs’k, Kyiv, Vinnytsia regions and Kyiv. I have instructed all territorial authorities to inform taxpayers about the need to submit data tables by the end of the week,” Ruslan Kravchenko emphasized.

The Head of the State Tax Service emphasized that consideration of risk issues should be comprehensive, so the commissions should make decisions only after a comprehensive assessment of the taxpayer’s activities.
“Another issue is excessive bureaucracy. It’s getting to the point of ridiculousness. The taxpayer is forced to submit several hundred pages of documents to the commission, which complicates the consideration of cases. At the same time, these documents often do not relate to the transaction itself or the company’s activities,” he added.
Ruslan Kravchenko also said that the State Tax Service is working on regulatory changes to reduce the number of blocked tax bills.
In particular, it is planned to improve the criteria for unconditional registration and indicators of positive tax history, as well as to simplify the mechanism for submitting data tables.
The Head of the State Tax Service said that he had instructed the heads of regional departments to organize consulting centers by the end of the week, where businesses will receive all the necessary assistance in resolving the issue of blocking tax bills and removing them from the list of risky ones.
According to Ruslan Kravchenko, each of these centers will employ 5-10 specialists who will provide business with explanations on
– algorithms of the risk assessment monitoring system;
– presentation of data tables;
– procedures for removing tax bills from the risky list and unblocking them.

Tax history knows examples of mass exclusion from the risky list
MP Nina Yuzhanina recently spoke about one such case. She received information from the State Tax Service in response to her deputy appeal and shared it with the readers of her Telegram channel.
Thus, as of December 01, 2024, there were 27,752 risky taxpayers, which is 17% of all taxpayers who registered tax invoices.
The list of risky taxpayers was reduced by 5129 taxpayers by last month: the tax authorities removed the risk status from 5844 taxpayers.
“What happened that the tax authorities removed more than 5,000 companies from the risky list?” asks Nina Yuzhanina and answers: “It looks like they “cleaned up” the List.”
According to her, the last time such an action took place was in July 2023, when 18.4 thousand taxpayers were removed from the “risky” category.
“Unfortunately, this does not look like a positive trend, because 777 new VAT payers were added to the List of risky taxpayers and 1122 decisions were made by regional STS commissions to keep the taxpayer’s risky status,” the MP said.
Thus, summarizes Nina Yuzhanina, “in November compared to last month:
– the number of blocked TI/CC increased by 8%;
– the blocked VAT amount increased by 15%;
– the list of risky taxpayers decreased by 5129 taxpayers.”
That’s how the arithmetic works out.
