As part of the fight against corruption the Central Administration of the State Fiscal Service in Odessa region has presented the innovational project “Check and drink”. The project has been developed under the auspices of SFS. The application allows checking if companies have valid licenses for production and sales of alcohol as well as licenses for realization of tobacco products in the Odessa region, the press-office of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine reports.

“The application has the purpose of fighting against the shadow turnover of excisable goods and prohibition of sales of excisable products to the minors” – Chairman of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine Roman Nasyrov said during his working visit to the Odessa region.

According to him, the software product was designed as a computer program, that’s why all the owners of smartphones will be able to install this application on their mobile device. Each citizen can freely use this program and report on violations, including from representatives of fiscal authorities.

“The application users will be able to send the complaint that the company or enterprise violated legislation: to report on problems with tax receipt, sales of counterfeit products, sales of products to minors and other violations. The complaint is immediately forwarded to the SFS and will be processed as soon as possible”, the Head of Service emphasized.  

It is expected that the program will allow creating equal conditions for running business, making the Odessa region more attractive for tourists, and to increase proceeds to the state budget from sales of excisable goods.
