KYIV, Feb 21 – Ukrainian companies would have to increase expenses on IT due to the necessity of not only competing for staff with western companies, but also doing this in line with changing taxation rules, Vladyslav Chechotkin, the founder and co-owner of the largest online shop in Ukraine – Rozetka.ua, said.

High salaries in the IT sector are associated with the exclusive position of core specialists, since they have the opportunity of working on tasks for any market without leaving the country. This, in turn, puts Ukrainian businesses in a difficult position.
