The results of the conducted full verifications also contribute to filling the budget.

Separately, the subjects of declaration and members of their families submitted tax declarations on their own, in which UAH 14.8 million was declared, from which UAH 2.8 million of taxes and fees were paid.

Among all full verifications of declarations completed since the beginning of the year, the largest number of violations was established in declarations submitted by representatives of: 

• local self-government bodies — in 73 declarations (of which 59 — submitted by deputies of local councils, of which 9 — deputies of oblast councils; one each - by a city council head and a village head, 12 - by employees of the apparatus of local councils);

• in 7 out of 9 — Khmelnytskyi Oblast (78%); 
• in 9 out of 12 — Kharkiv Oblast (75%);

The results of the conducted full verifications indicate that the application of a risk-oriented approach to the selection of declarations for full verification has had a positive impact on the efficiency of their conduct.

Important: the initiation of a full verification does not mean that the declarant has committed a corruption or corruption-related offence. If violations are established based on the results of the verification, the NACP takes measures to bring the person to liability in accordance with the legislation.

If there are grounds, the materials are transferred to pre-trial investigation authorities, as well as to the SAPO, for consideration of the issue of civil forfeiture of unjustified assets.
