well, what is the mood there? a few days ago i had a meeting here and i said that the remote liberation of crimea, where the occupation must be continued with such powerful strikes so that they constantly feel that we have such weapons, this has a great effect, because you can plan, you can. as they say there , who to complain to, that they gave us something, they didn't give us something, here inside ukraine you can engage in quarrels on the part of, let's say, some representatives of the authorities, and the military must do what they do, and because, well, i was asked , that two, well, two or three days ago, i won't say who, but how is it... they say the authorized person

, i said that the mood in crimea is such that he, he has its differences here in the east of our ukraine and in the north, why, because here is an island, you understand, and when we hit like that, we break it. i will not say the brain, because there are no brains there, yes, we are breaking that skull box, in which they stuffed all sorts of rubbish, and they still considered crimea as a zone of such recreation and soviet times, you understand, and this is what i am breaking this skull box, and they understand that what they are being lied to there... in russia, in crimea, it does not

work, and i said that for the first time in so many years there is no idea at all that there will be a certain season, even a holiday season, that everything is sufficient there with logistics, it has become very difficult, so it is reflected on our citizens, but when asked, i said, our citizens, when communicating, they say that the harder, the better and all the more the mood among our citizens that those animals are fleeing from there, yes, there is a demoralization factor, it increases because the actions continue on our side, but you understand, you can imagine how certain their confidence is that crimea. .. they will never

give back, here in the cafe feadosia flies and hits so that windows and frames fly off the floor of the feodosia, and that's it. the island, it ’s impossible, it’s impossible to hide, now a criminal case is being opened there for the fact that the military themselves, they film and show no, no from our point of view, that they leak information to us, they are generous, so let’s watch the festive plot together of our colleagues, still a little tree, a weasel flew in, became a detative. call the master, don't go, don't go , master, don't look, i'm singing, everyone at home has already complained, here and there, here and there, i don't have the strength, i'm silent, here is the world, my song, wants little spring voices sing my life, my master,

my master, i'm glad to see you, little girl, little weasel has flown in,

this is an espresso-exclusive, i'm oleksandr morshchevka, congratulations, today we're talking about the economy. the budget is rapidly losing income, entrepreneurs are incurring huge losses. the illegal tobacco market continues to grow in ukraine. so, according to the calculations. experts, the share of counterfeit products has been growing rapidly since the beginning of the great war, as well as products that are labeled duty-free or intended for export, but illegally is sold in our country. for example, european business associations say that

the government is now trying to put pressure on business in every way, increasing, in particular, fiscal pressure , at a time when it should, on the contrary, strengthen the fight against the shadow and find, well, revenue for the state. of the budget, we will talk about it with the coordinator of the economic expert platform, oleg hetman, we are on the phone, i congratulate you, mr. oleg, good day, well, what are the reasons for the fact that during the full-scale invasion during this period, it is growing rapidly the market of illegal tobacco and illegal tobacco products, i remember that even before the great war there really were such points, they were closed to the eyes of the law enforcement officers. well, women openly sold branded duty-free cigarettes in such spontaneous markets, but now the numbers are on the contrary increasing, why explain that? well, look, we as analytical centers , as experts, we observed this situation in

dynamics exactly by quarters, and if we take the year 2023 in terms of quarters, and even tantar confirms this, then starting from the first to the second and... the third quarter the shadow is the opposite decreased, there was an increase in white sales, there was a quarter-on-quarter increase in taxes and , accordingly, sales, and... and production as well , well, for example, white sales grew , the first quarter is 25.5 billion in white sales of tobacco products, the second quarter already uah 30 billion, the third quarter - uah 34 billion, and only after the end of the third quarter, with the beginning of the fourth quarter, the number of white sales began to decrease sharply, and accordingly, the payment of taxes and , accordingly, production . from time to time in various regions, underground shops, well , they report this to the public, but what

prompted the fact that white sales, you say, are falling, and the shadow, on the contrary, began to grow in the last month? we thought for a long time about all possible factors, and we, as analytical centers, as an expert environment, have only one explanation, from the beginning of the year, a temporary investigative commission began to work actively. on issues of economic security, it was really unprecedented work, well , we have not seen such quality commissions of this level before, this there were investigations into who exactly illegally produces these products, where they are most widely distributed, there were a number of meetings of the temporary investigative commission, when explanations were taken from the heads of the police, tax service, economic... security bureau, all this was public, all this was done the first three quarters, and all these

heads of these bodies continued down the chain of tasks, and they wanted to show the result, and on the other hand, business representatives in the regions also confirm this to us, they say that they ran in the spring and summer law enforcement officers, the police, tax officials and closed all the black and gray points, you could see it directly... how hundreds, thousands of them stopped working, but after a few weeks they opened, the police ran further, and the tax officials closed them, that is, it was the game is like this, and then somewhere in the fall it is almost over, well, now the term of the temporary investigative commission has already expired, tax officials and law enforcement officials have stopped reporting on their successes, and accordingly , local corruption raised its head and... became a bigger factor than, er, necessity

to report and show good results for the country, so the shadow went up again in the fourth quarter. mr. olezh, unfortunately, certain raids are indeed taking place for time, often for ticks, for reports. but this last quarter, when it is the shadow market that is growing, has hit the revenues to the state budget, in particular, well, the funding of the armed forces of ukraine is being lost, respectively. what numbers well, look, if in the first quarter we received taxes from the tobacco industry 15 billion, in the second quarter about 21 billion, in the third about 22 billion, then in the fourth we will receive about 15 billion again, as was the case in the first, everything else is a shadow share, so the losses, well, between the 22nd best quarter and the 15th, it is at least 7 billion, as a whole, for the year, we estimate losses somewhere in

in the range of 15-17 billion hryvnias, these will be losses only from the illegal sale of tobacco products, but is it known who produces them at all, maybe there are already certain such - plots that have made a certain network in a number of regions, by the way, there is such information , that the leaders... the level of illegal distribution production, there are eight regions of our country, well , dnipropetrovsk, odesa, and lviv regions are in the top three, well, there are certain investigations to understand who, who is keeping this shady business? well, look, it is divided into large gray manufacturers, and there really only on the fingers of one hand you can count these gray manufacturers, the temporary investigative commission is investigating. this is a question, they took the level of ordering raw materials in thousands of tons to

the level of the tax burden of these producers, and constantly in the anti-leaders with very low payments, a very low indicator of this, it was the vinnytsia tobacco factory, it was the factory of vgshi and the new factory, which was opened by the ex-owners of yellow waters, which you remember, were closed there last year. armored personnel carriers and there are also machine gunners, so basically three productions that have abnormally low tax rates and there are many of them. to the question of law enforcement and tax authorities, on the other hand, this is a huge retail network, but here it is impossible to identify any one owner, there are thousands, thousands of different sales points, sometimes they are completely black , that is, there is no license, no certificates, no certificate, even a fop, and sometimes they are semi-legal, which have licenses,

but sell part in white and part in black, so... there is no single owner here , you can’t catch him, it just has to be the constant work of law enforcement officers, tax officials and bebu to minimize these black points, and here it is very important to finally adopt those bills that have been in the parliament for a year on the complete reset of the economic security bureau, the tax service and of the customs service, competitions should be with internationals, they should choose managers, this is the only thing that works in our country, as practice has shown, then complete re-certification of all personnel, setting decent salaries for them, only the normal, high-quality work of these bodies can make it possible to minimize shadow and not do this manual intervention that tsk does during the year, well, it is really difficult to track, i agree with you, small points of sale, well, in particular, these are kiosks, shops, street vendors, ordinary people

, open markets, spontaneous markets, right there a significant share of products is sold, well, i think... consumers still need to be more active here, it is clear that a certain price can attract customers to buy something with a duty-free brand, but conscious citizens should still be interested in the fact that this product is counterfeit, in at best, at worst, it can be a low-quality product, but still, i am interested in why the measures that law enforcement officers implement from time to time for reporting, well , they... do not work, that is, they closed the production point in one city, maybe even these businessmen have trouble opening a similar point in another city, why can't it be done systematically, er, exactly because as you said, there are many of them, they are small, they are small, they have almost nothing to lose, if it is

a big supermarket, huge store, then he has something to lose, arrest. accounts, confiscation of property for him is, well, significant losses, then a small trading point , it does not matter to her, in principle, it only paralyzes her work for a week or two, and then she opens in a new place, so here really, in addition to what she has be three bodies have been reloaded and they should work with new quality, there should be additional consumer control, and we have developed a draft law, we think that just like that... our consumers will not be very interested in reporting those points where they are in two buy products cheaper, but if we interest them according to successful european principles, a system of financial incentives, to report about black people, about those who rob our country, then they may be interested, and such an

optimal cashback bill for the consumer, when for what he can... notifies the tax service of a black dot, a black product, he will then receive 50% of all ee fines that will be imposed on that black producer, uh, we think that will interest our consumers, because bonuses can reach 10, 20 and even 100 thousand hryvnias, for a simple report of a crime, in fact, this draft law is almost ready, we expect its registration in the verkhovna rada, but... how much influence does the shadow market have such in ukraine on the investment attractiveness of our country? ukraine now during a great war , capital investment is needed, and foreign business is ready to enter, but there are many buts. of course, black trade, trade without paying taxes creates unfair competition, so in addition to the direct effect of losses

for the state, this is a rather unattractive factor. a repulsive factor for investors, therefore investors are definitely looking at this, if we talk about the tobacco market, then in principle everyone is white, the big white four are working, but, well, they are not expanding their production in addition, they are looking at it black market, the same on the fuel market, the same on the alcohol market, and always a black product. it creates unfair competition. in your opinion, to what extent now is the time to revise the tax legislation, increase the fiscal pressure on big business and big taxpayers. well, the authorities understand that it is they who will be able to pay it, or after all , to pull the business out of the shadows and try to legalize, well, some even small production of the same tobacco, and to make it

transparent, there were transparent revenues to of the state budget, to the budgets of all levels, well, to create additional pressure even on large businesses, on medium -sized businesses, it is completely inappropriate now, business is already operating in very difficult conditions, in constantly changing conditions, due to military actions, due to this distorted competition, so for small, medium and large businesses, one can only improve conditions, not tax-free, of course, it is not impossible to move tax rates now and through our international partners and in general, due to the fact that the absolute majority of our taxes go now for our defense, for... our army for military needs, so it is impossible to move rates, but to improve business conditions, regulatory, administrative, giving them more economic freedoms, reducing the amount of pressure

from tax officials, inspectors, control authorities, reducing the number of blocking tax invoices , which is now one of the biggest problems in business, all this is important to do, and we as analytical centers, this is the focus of our attention, it is in our priorities for this year and for the next year. and the last question: for next year, as far as ukrainian entrepreneurs expect , in general the maximum simplification of business operations , a certain deregulation, it continues, but ukrainian business says that it is not enough, will there be gunpowder, will there be integration of ukrainian legislation for the work of small, medium and large businesses, integration into european legislation, is there any prospects? well, work on deregulation has been going on for the last year, a lot has been done, several thousand regulatory

acts and some unnecessary regulations have been eliminated, but it has such an effect, it has some effect and improves work of business, but not globally, the first place among the problems of business is the regulatory one , and here, unfortunately, the situation has changed a little for the better, but it has not changed, we have not even returned to the level of the 21st year , in 2020, when the blocks were there at the level of 0.3%, now we have as much as 0.9%, that is, three times higher, work on this continues, we expect positive results already in january, so let's hope that with this will improve the situation, all other reforms, all other changes, they too... a number of draft laws that simplify the work of business are on the table, and we expect their adoption by the parliament as well. as for european integration, it is necessary

to treat this very meticulously with great attention from the point of view of business and from the side of us think tanks, because not all european regulations are improvements and simplifications, so everything that improves and simplifies must be carefully reviewed , definitely take it as soon as possible. everything that is very complicated, regulated and so on, put off as long as possible, for later, or implement in some way within the directives, but favorable to us. the espresso tv channel will monitor the changes in the industry, not only in the tobacco industry, but in general in deregulation, we will monitor how ukrainian industries come out of the walls and the state budget is filled. thank you for the conversation, oleg getman, econ coordinator. expert platform was a guest of the exclusive espresso program, i'm oleksandr morchivka, i'll say goodbye to you, watch us!
