Rada Returns Duties And VAT On Imported Goods And Customs Clearance Of Vehicles

The Verkhovna Rada has returned duties and VAT on imported goods and customs clearance of vehicles.

234 parliamentarians voted for the adoption of bill No. 7418 as a whole, with the minimum required 226, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

According to the Member of Parliament of the Verkhovna Rada from the Holos faction Yaroslav Zhelezniak, customs clearance of vehicles will be paid from July this year.

At the time of adoption, the text of the bill is absent on the parliament website.

The bill proposes to resume taxation, which was abolished by Law No. 2142:

- for goods imported by single tax payers of the first, second and third groups (according to customs statistics, on average, monthly losses of budget revenues amount to about UAH 3.0 billion of VAT and import duty);

- for enterprises that do not pay import duty (according to customs statistics, on average, monthly losses of budget revenues amount to about UAH 0.5 billion of import duty);

- for vehicles imported by citizens (as a result of the exemption from taxation of import duty, excise tax and VAT, the budget did not receive about UAH 13 billion; more than 119,000 vehicles were imported; there are frequent cases of import of premium class cars).

At the same time, it is proposed to amend the Law of Ukraine "On Collection for Compulsory State Pension Insurance" to exempt those who purchase property for passenger cars equipped exclusively with electric engines (one or more) from paying a fee for compulsory state insurance.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Cabinet of Ministers proposes to the Verkhovna Rada to introduce a procedure for customs clearance of vehicles in the Dіia application and exempt electric vehicles from taxation.
