KIEV, June 18 – The IMF is waiting for the Ukrainian authorities to fulfill its promises to transfer farmers to the general taxation system starting January 1, 2016.

"We have a current draft memorandum which is the basis for the second tranche. As it was fairly said, these are the liabilities the government has taken… and one of the liabilities concerns the VAT system in agriculture," IMF Resident Representative for Ukraine Jerome Vacher said at a meeting of the parliamentary committee for agriculture and land relations, which was held on Wednesday.
