In an attempt to crack down on corruption, Ukrainian tax inspectors will soon be made to wear body cameras during inspections.  The news came from Danylo Hetmantsev, a senior MP who chairs the parliamentary committee overseeing finance, tax, and customs policy. He says it will be a step toward greater transparency and accountability.

“Equipping tax inspectors with body cameras eliminates the possibility of abuse from inspectors and prevents dishonest taxpayers from trying to cut shady deals,” said the lawmaker.

He added that video recordings would be help resolve disputes over how inspections are conducted, ensuring clear and fair outcomes for all parties involved.

Beyond cameras, the reform gears up inspectors with tablets and portable printers, enabling them to handle inspections more efficiently. Hetmantsev called these measures a “robust anti-corruption strategy” aimed at modernizing tax enforcement in Ukraine.
