The Verkhovna Rada voted to postpone the deadline for raising taxes for individual entrepreneurs (FOP) from October 1 to January 1, 2025. The changes were made through a bill that was supported by 268 members of parliament.
The Parliament has made changes to the Tax Code, according to which increased taxes for individual entrepreneurs will be in effect not from October 1, but from January 1, 2025. This is reported by UNN with reference to MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
According to Zheleznyak, the Rada supported in the second reading the draft law No. 9319 on the taxation of rewards for gig contracts for residents of "Diia City". 268 MPs voted "for".
"It was this one that had an amendment that corrected the tax bill 11416d and the "backdating" where taxes are being moved from October 1 to January 1, 2025 for individual entrepreneurs", the MP pointed out.
It is also envisaged to reduce the rental rate for the extraction of kaolin.
Until the end of the war, entrepreneurs will not be fined for not submitting reports on controlled foreign companies (CFCs).
