Bills on taxing all parcels from abroad have been submitted to the Rada.
The head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, Danylo Getmantsev, submitted two bills to parliament on taxing the import of parcels.
He announced this on Telegram.
Getmantsev proposes:
- citizens will be able to receive goods worth up to 45 euros without VAT, provided that such goods are sent to them by individuals without any payment and without commercial purpose;
- goods purchased by citizens on marketplaces or other similar platforms are subject to VAT taxation regardless of their value.
- If the value of the goods exceeds 150 euros, an import duty will be additionally levied on it.
The MP claims that the draft laws propose to simplify VAT administration and speed up customs clearance of parcels.
To do this, it is proposed:
- by analogy with the IOSS mechanism existing in EU countries, introduce the possibility of paying VAT directly by the supplier of goods or a marketplace or other similar platform, with the assistance of which such goods were delivered.
Note that this may mean an automatic increase in the price of goods.
It is also proposed to introduce a new customs declaration for goods with insignificant value with a set of data similar to the customs declaration H7 existing in EU countries. At the same time, the currently existing forms of documents for declaring parcels can be used in the future.
“Payment of VAT by the supplier of goods or the marketplace will eliminate the need for additional customs payments on the part of the buyer during customs clearance and will help speed up customs procedures,” says Getmantsev.
Earlier it was reported that a new tax on cars will appear in Ukraine.
