The law on increasing taxes will be signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky in the near future i. The military tax will increase from 1.5 to 5%.
About those how the increase in the military tax is included in salaries, in the material of RBC-Ukraine.
The military tax in Ukraine is taken from all incomes Hulks We are faced with the problem of wages becoming close to 60% of the income of the population (the remaining data from the State Statistics Committee published before the war).
The law will be introduced retroactively and will advance the military tax already from the salary for the winter.
In general, the tax rate for citizens is made up of two parts: tax on personal income (PDFO) – 18% and military tax – 1.5%, in the amount of 19.5%. According to the new law, the growth rate will be increased to 23%, and the rest of the tax collection will be increased to 5%.
For example, now the average salary will be close to 20 thousand hryvnias until taxes are collected. It includes 18% of the PDF – 3600 hryvnia and 1.5% of the military tax – 300 hryvnia. The sum is 3900 hryvnia.
Already from the salary for the winter, 3600 hryvnia will be taken and 1000 hryvnia (5%) of the military tax. As a result, taxes increased by 700 hryvnia to 4,700 hryvnia.
Who compensates for the increase in taxes
The increase in taxes will be in front of public sector employees, who will automatically take money from their salaries.
It is difficult for the labor companies to pay “white wages.” According to survey data from the European Business Association, 55% of participants said they could not compensate their workers. Apparently, this will lead to a decrease in the real income of people.
We are ready to compensate for the decrease in the real income of workers by 14%, and often by 13%. І 6% is ready to compensate in full.
When the law gains authority and who is to blame
According to the law, “the income of the paid military levy, collected according to the results of the tax periods before the acquisition of rank by this law, is subject to the rate of the military levy that was in effect before the accrual of rank by this law, regardless of the date їх actual payment (surrender)”.
The Rada recently announced that the 1.5% rate for military and military security forces will be withdrawn. There are military services and practitioners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the National Guard, the State Cordon Service, State Security Administration, State Service for Special Communication and Information Protection, State Special Service for Transport.
In addition, the military tax does not come from pensions (close to a quarter of the income of citizens) and social payments.
It seems that, according to data from the Razumkov Center, the majority of Ukrainian citizens (58.1%) respect inappropriate increases in taxes in the hour of war.
