Shurma said that the methodology for distinguishing a local product from a non-local one has also already been developed and agreed upon.

In addition, the seller must be a payer on the general taxation system, “so that these are not tax evaders” , but stimulating transparent work.”
“Someone can debate about the percentage of localization. But any product on the shelf, even if it was only packaged or branded in Ukraine, is already 40% of the retail price. And if this is the payment of taxes, then the synergy for the country is clear,” noted the deputy head of the OP.
He emphasized that the state will also focus on the purchase of Ukrainian goods, but this mechanism is still being developed.
