The development of rural areas should be a major goal of Ukrainian policy, and advisory services are a useful tool to increase living standards and prosperity in rural areas. That is why advisory services should be financed from the state and regional budgets, particularly when their future clients are too poor to pay for private services.

Local Government Revenues: Increasingly Dependent on Kyiv?
(Code:T23)The fiscal year 2004 will most probably see a decline in the non-transfer revenues of Local Government Entities (LGEs) in Ukraine, leading to an increase of redistribution via equalization transfers. There are two main reasons for this: the introduction of the flat-rate 13% personal income tax, which is assigned to 100% to the LGEs, will lead to decreased tax revenues of UAH 2.5 bn. Moreover, also the own revenues of LGEs (local taxes and other revenues) seem to stagnate.
