The State Tax Committee was established in 1994. The Tax Code adopted in 1997 was produced quickly and had many weaknesses and more than 250 changes had to be made over the time. In addition it was very condensed and required many normative acts (1300 total) to allow its implementation. As a result tax legislation became unsystematic, nontransparent and burdensome to businessmen. The tax code has been revised and the new version is expected to come into full effect by 2008. The new tax code will be the main basis for the implementation of the new rules in contrast to the previous code and will replace the slew of additional decrees and normative acts implementing the former tax system. It also envisages that only 16 taxes will be left in place.
