On 25 March 2026, an academic seminar was held for the academic staff of the Department of Tax Administration, Faculty of Taxation, Accounting and Auditing at the State Tax University, as part of the implementation of the EU Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module project ‘Fostering a sustainable interest in EU tax culture through the introduction of educational, scientific and communicative awareness-raising activities aimed at Ukrainian society’.
The speakers were: Olga Ivanyshyna, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor and Head of the Department, and Iryna Prokopenko, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor of the Department.
During the seminar, participants were introduced to the specific features of the professional activities of tax consultants in European Union countries, and models for regulating this profession were analysed using the example of individual EU Member States.
Particular attention was paid to:
- the role of tax consultants in shaping tax culture;
- ensuring voluntary tax compliance;
- the function of the tax consultant as an intermediary between taxpayers and tax authorities.
The seminar also examined the current state of tax advisory services in Ukraine and proposed ways to implement European best practice. In particular, emphasis was placed on developing the tax advisory sector, improving the quality of tax support for businesses, and reducing the informal economy.
Seminar participants actively engaged in discussions on key issues in the field of tax consultancy in Ukraine, as well as the prospects for the development and regulation of the profession in the context of digitalisation and the use of artificial intelligence.
