Abstract
Due to Ukrainian aspirations of accession to the European Union, a number of international treaties and agreements have been signed with the aim of converging Ukraine’s tax legislation with the norms and standards of the West European countries. In this context, the Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation between Ukraine and the European Communities and their Member States, is of particular importance. Under this treaty Ukraine committed itself to the convergence of its own existing and future legislation with that of the EU. This particular issue is under consideration of the text.
