Parcels, digital platforms, military levy. Committee approved tax changes from IMF package, next - parliament's vote

All three tax bills from the package required by IMF commitments were supported by the relevant committee of the Verkhovna Rada - regarding the taxation of income from digital platforms, taxation of international postal and express shipments, as well as the extension of military tax payment after the abolition of martial law. Next, they will be submitted for a vote in the Verkhovna Rada hall, said MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak from the tax committee in Telegram, as reported by UNN.

The committee also supported the last bill from the IMF package - No. 15112-1. This is about abolishing the 150 euro exemption for parcels. Only the alternative No. 15112-1 (authored by SN) was supported in principle: "for" - 15. Abstained - 7 (including me). Tomorrow it will be submitted to the hall, but only in the first reading. Further work will be done on it.

The MP listed "two very important clarifications":

• this law is an amendment to the Tax Code. It is not the main one here and is technical. According to Zheleznyak, "the main changes are in the Customs Code, this will be done through amendments to bill No. 12360 (KPI for customs). It is not being submitted now, and will not be this week";
• the law will not come into force earlier than 2027, but only after a government decision - when the system is ready. The MP is "convinced that this will be much later than January 1, 2027 - at least for now, even the money for developing the system has not been allocated."

"The government hopes to collect up to UAH 10 billion in additional revenues," Zheleznyak said.

Earlier, he reported that the committee also supported bills on extending the military tax for 3 years after the end of the war and on taxing platforms.

Regarding the second, according to Zheleznyak, "it is important regarding the deadlines: not earlier than 01/01/2027, but after the signing of the exchange agreement and the accession of countries. That is, it will most likely be later than the beginning of 2027. That is, they will be taxed only in 2028 after reporting for 2027."
