In addition, the parties paid considerable attention to the issue of improving state support for the agricultural sector. So, they propose to redistribute budget funds that were not used during I-III quarters for the implementation of existing agricultural support programs in order to return the “quasi-accumulation of VAT” regime that was in effect in 2017. Also, the memorandum prescribes the clause on returning the norm on the reimbursement of value added tax on operations for the export of oilseeds outside the customs territory of Ukraine.
