The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee, Danylo Getmantsev, wants to discuss the introduction of mandatory purchase of military bonds by the population in the amount of 7% of taxable income.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Glavcom.
“I believe there is potential for further increase in the volume of placements among both banks and legal entities and individuals,” he said.
At the same time, Getmantsev believes it is necessary to maintain attractive rates on these financial obligations:
“The average weighted yield on hryvnia government bonds issued in October was 15.6%. This is ahead of the projected devaluation and inflation. For the population, investment attractiveness is even greater given the absence of taxation of investment income by personal income tax and military tax.”
The people's deputy cited the example of Israel, where a long-term mandatory military loan was introduced in the 70s: 7% of taxable income was required to be spent on the purchase of military bonds.
“Whether such a mandatory savings scheme can be introduced in Ukraine (exclusively for wartime and exclusively for financing security and defense forces) is a matter of deep political, social and professional discussion,” said Daniil Getmantsev.
It also became known about salaries in Ukraine: what is the minimum wage included in the state budget for 2025.
