“We see our leadership in introducing proper taxation of every hectare of land in the interests of local budgets. The land tax should remain fully in the communities. We must do our utmost to ensure that they receive sufficient financial resources for independence and development, “Roman Leshchenko said.
He noted that the community should have financial resources not only through the prism of land tax but also through the prism of other taxes.
“We cannot set many tasks for communities without giving them financial resources for their own realization and independence. In terms of land tax, we are currently working on a bill that will allow communities in 2022 to receive additional revenues to the local budget, “- added the Minister.
He also named 10 points that he managed to implement in the development of decentralization reform with the support of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. These include the opening of the land market, conducting an audit, depriving the State Geocadastre of the powers of a land manager, adopting basic laws, and transferring land to communities.
Currently, the team of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy is actively holding meetings with communities.
“My team and I are actively establishing a lively dialogue with the regions. We are always there to understand how communities live. We plan to sign memoranda of cooperation with all regions – there are already eight. We try to give maximum support to the communities because the future is behind them! ”Roman Leshchenko summed up.
