According to the decision of the Verkhovna Rada, this tax will remain at 1.5%.
For military personnel, the military tax was left at 1.5% – the Rada adopted a corresponding amendment to the law. For other Ukrainians, it will be 5%.
This was reported by People's Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
In particular, when considering the bill on increasing taxes, the military tax will be left at the same level for soldiers of the Armed Forces, the SBU, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the National Guard, the State Border Service, the State Security Service, the State Special Communications Service and the State Special Transport Service.
Recall:
The Rada generally supported bill No. 11416-d. The bill was supported by 247 parliamentarians.
During the meeting, the people's deputies amended the bill to leave the military tax at 1.5% for military personnel.
The bill on increasing taxes also provides for:
- introduction of a military tax for sole proprietors
- 50% tax on excess profits of banks
- increase in the minimum tax liability for lands
- 25% income tax for financial companies
- exemption of cashback from taxation
However, according to MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the adopted law will most likely have to be re-voted.
“I wouldn't say now that the tax law has been adopted. As I wrote, during the consideration, amendment No. 988 was shot down. To understand, this amendment is half the law – it is physically set out on 10 A4 pages. Therefore, it seems to me that the law will have to be re-voted to simply bring it into some kind of order. In short, I think there are now many legal problems with the text,” Zheleznyak noted.
Almost everyone will now pay these taxes! The amounts are growing!
