Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Finance plans to increase the military tax rate from 1.5% to 5% and expand the payer base. The changes will affect small businesses and other categories, but will not apply to pensioners and social benefits.
The new changes in the military fee provide for an increase in the rate to 5% and its expansion to small businesses and other business categories. This was announced by Finance Minister Sergii Marchenko during a telethon, UNN reports .
First of all, it concerns expanding the base of those subject to the military tax. Currently, the military tax is 1.5%, and it is paid only by those who receive a salary and are officially employed. We want to extend the military tax to other categories of taxpayers, including small businesses and businesses in general, so that they are subject to the military tax. The rate will be increased from 1.5% to 5%
He says that this does not apply to pensioners, because pensions are not taxed.
“This does not apply to pensioners and other social benefits. It only concerns salaries,” Marchenko emphasized.
Recall
Finance Minister Sergiy Marchenko said that the country's needs sometimes do not coincide with its capabilities, so it is necessary to raise UAH 500 billion for defense spending, part of this money will be covered by additional sources of income, namely tax increases.
