Ukrainian senior MP Nina Yuzhanina revealed that the Ministry of Finance has proposied that the country’s IT professionals should be stripped of a tax relief scheme.
The recent debate in the tax and customs committee revolved about raising taxes, focusing on the Diia.City scheme. According to Yuzhanina, businesses who signed up for from Diia.City tax relief asked that the military tax rate for their sector remain unchanged, citing government promises to maintain the current regime for 25 years.
They argued that the tax hike could see the state budget ending up with the loss in revenues as IT professionals might shift to the third group of private entrepreneurs (FOP) that grangts lower taxes.
“There was a suggestion to raise the military tax rate for the third group of FOPs beyond 1% of turnover (as outlined in the proposed legislation). The reasoning is clear: with 5% PIT and 5% turnover tax, the playing field is level. But if the military tax rises from 1.5% to 5% and FOPs remain at 1%, many will switch to the FOP system,” Yuzhanina explained.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
