A republican enterprise of collecting tourist tax will be formed in Crimea, Prime Minister of the autonomy Anatoly Mohylyov told the press.

The Crimean PM explained that currently the tax is being collected by local authorities, who have no clue how to do it properly, and as a result, local budgets lose money.

"We need these means to maintain the communal infrastructure of the sea cities. We've decided to form a special agency, charged with determining tourist places and setting and collecting taxes from these places. The money will go to the local budgets and used for development of cities' infrastructure," Mohylyov said.

According to the official, the republican agency will have branches in Crimean cities and districts. It is supposed to create a centralized system of tax collection. According to preliminary estimations, the agency will collect 50-60 million hryvnias of tax into local budget.

The Crimean PM also informed that the agency would start working next year.
