Cabinet makes changes to driving and car import issues

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine passed a
resolution on Sept. 15 to begin experiments with processing customs and VAT for
individuals importing automobiles. The experiments will cover being able to
upload the paperwork required as well as pay the fees for the import process,
pravda.com.ua reports.

The Cabinet also passed a resolution allowing driving
schools to organize online classes for learning the theory part of the driving
test.

James Hydzik: While permission to hold driving theory classes online may sound like
a latecomer to the COVID era, the experiments with processing auto imports
online has longer-term ramifications. Automating a process that is perceived by
the tens of thousands of people importing cars as leaving them vulnerable to
corruption will do far more to change perceptions than harangueing them to not
pay bribes. As we have stated before, this is one area that the Zelensky
government definitely understands fighting corruption.
