The State Tax Service of Ukraine is introducing a set of measures to resolve tax issues of mobilized sole proprietors and veterans. Proposals for changes in legislation are being developed, and working groups will be created in the regions to provide consultations. This was announced on Facebook by the Head of the State Tax Service Ruslan Kravchenko, UNN writes.

He discussed the relevant issue during a teleconference with territorial administrations.
Ruslan Kravchenko said that last week during a meeting with business in Khmelnytskyi, he was approached by a veteran who raised the issue of mobilized sole proprietors. Sole proprietors of groups 1-2 must pay a single tax and military levy monthly in advance. To avoid automatic accruals, you should submit an application for the impossibility of fulfilling tax obligations. However, during mobilization and service, an entrepreneur is unlikely to think about this. This is why tax debt arises.
To date, more than 3,000 mobilized sole proprietors have a tax debt of almost UAH 30 million. They may be exempt from paying taxes if they submit an application to the tax registration office within 10 days after demobilization. In practice, it is extremely difficult to meet this deadline.
We have already identified specific measures to help entrepreneurs who have stood up to defend the country: the State Tax Service is developing its proposals to the legislation to increase the deadlines for submitting applications. In the near future, we will submit them to the Ministry of Finance, and we have initiated the signing of a protocol with the Ministry of Defense to have accurate information on mobilized sole proprietors and help them
He also emphasized that the following operational steps are being implemented at the level of the State Tax Service:
- the regions will receive lists of sole proprietors who are charged a single tax and military levy, and who are likely unable to fulfill their tax obligations. Each story must be worked out;
- we are conducting an inventory of complaints and letters from sole proprietors regarding the write-off of accrued tax liabilities from the date of their mobilization, we will analyze the results of their consideration in the regions;
- territorial administrations should create working groups and "hotlines" to provide consultations to mobilized sole proprietors who cannot fulfill tax obligations, or members of their families;
- during April, mobilized sole proprietors and members of their families should be informed about the existing mechanisms defined by law to avoid negative consequences from non-payment of taxes;
- all relevant information should be placed in the Customer Service Centers. The ASCs, communities, TCCs, and regional military administrations should also be involved in informing.
We are working to ensure that issues related to the tax liabilities of mobilized sole proprietors and veterans are resolved fairly and without bureaucracy
