Meanwhile, newly hired workers can be exempt from conscription immediately, without a minimum tenure but their salaries must exceed 20,000 hryvnias, except for employees of state or municipal enterprises and residents of Diia.City.
To reserve workers, businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Minimum Salary: Average salary of at least 20,000 UAH.
- No Tax Debts: The company must be free of outstanding tax liabilities.
- Additional Requirements (at least one):
- Residency in Diia.City.
- Payment of over €1.5 million in annual taxes.
- Annual revenue of €32 million or more.
- Demonstrable importance to the national economy or local community needs.
To confirm their “criticality” status, businesses must submit their applications to the relevant ministry:
- Ministry of Energy reviews applications from energy companies.
- Ministry of Agriculture takes care of such paperwork coming from the agricultural businesses.
- Ministry of Digital Transformation will process documents from Diia.City residents.
- Ministry of Economy will be in charge of the applications from companies meeting financial criteria or vital to the economy.
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.
