The Department of Accounting and Auditing of NULP, in collaboration with the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Rivne Oblast and the Territorial Branch of the All-Ukrainian Public Organization "Association of Taxpayers of Ukraine" in Rivne Oblast, conducted the Tax Brain Ring - 2026.

Six teams from various educational institutions participated in the event: "Balance team" (NUWEP), "Tax Queens" (Rivne Economic and Technological College of NUWEP), "Tax Vector" (Rivne Technical College of NUWEP), "No mistakes, nonsense, or hesitation" (Berezne Forestry Technical College of NUWEP), "VAT professionals" (Rivne College of Information Technologies), and "Fiscal Detectives" (Profile Business School of the Rivne City Palace for Children and Youth). The participants were the most intelligent and attentive experts in tax legislation.

Thanks to the professional moderation of Professor Dmytro Nikitenko, the game was noted for its high level of organization and lively discussions. It was proven that taxes are not only mandatory, unconditional payments to the relevant budget collected from taxpayers in accordance with the conditions established by the Tax Code, but also an excellent basis for an intellectual duel.

The victory was won by the "Balance team" (NUWGP), consisting of Elvina Adzhiveliia, Sofia Vasyliuk, Viktoriia Zdanevych, Oleksandr Kuchevskyi, Viktoriia Myskovets, and Ivanna Revych. The team's mentor is Professor Olha Osadcha from the Department of Accounting and Auditing at NUWGP.

The Tax Brain Ring once again confirmed the high level of preparation of students, their interest in the field of taxation, and their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. The event served as an effective platform for developing professional competencies, communication, and teamwork on one hand, and as a space where quick thinking and depth of knowledge determine everything on the other.
