You're reading: Katerynchuk: Yanukovych should dismiss authors of poorly drawn up tax code

MP from the OU-PSD faction Mykola Katerynchuk has said Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych should dismiss the authors of the "poorly drawn up Tax Code."

"This issue [of the dismissal of authors of the Tax Code], in my opinion, is urgent, and I believe the president has no other option if he is the president of this state," Katerynchuk told reporters in Kyiv on Thursday.

The MP also said that the OU-PSD faction freely voted on the Tax Code with presidential proposals, but the majority did not support the president’s amendments.

Katerynchuk explained that representatives of small and medium business called for the government to not only retain the simplified taxation system, "but also to dismiss those who drafted this Tax Code: the prime minister, [Mykola Azarov], the vice premier for economic issues, [Sergiy Tigipko] and the head of the state committee for entrepreneurship and regulatory policy, [Mykhailo Brodsky]."
