Deputy heads of the State Tax Service may have submitted resignation letters following leadership change

Significant leadership reshuffles are likely being prepared at the State Tax Service of Ukraine. According to journalist Taras Seredych, all deputy heads of the agency have submitted resignation letters. These steps are linked to the appointment of a new head of the tax service.

Initiative linked to change of head

As Seredych notes, citing his own sources, the submission of resignation letters by all deputies may indicate an intention to form a new team under the new head of the State Tax Service. If this information is confirmed, it will be a sign of a large-scale renewal of the leadership of one of the key bodies responsible for tax administration, compliance with legislation, and filling the state budget.

No official reaction

As of now, information about mass resignations at the State Tax Service has no official confirmation. It is unknown whether the submitted letters imply the actual termination of the officials' powers, as well as the exact dates of possible personnel changes. The further development of the situation will depend on the decisions of the State Tax Service leadership and the relevant state bodies.

Previously, reports emerged about probable searches by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) at the residence of former acting head of the State Tax Service Lesia Karnaukh. Although there is no official confirmation of these actions, it is known that, according to her 2024 declaration, the total income of the family was 2.3 million hryvnia. Among the declared assets were land plots, real estate, and cars, which the couple used free of charge.
