The Council of the Business Ombudsman believes that Bill 11416 on increasing taxes potentially creates conditions for disproportionate pressure on conscientious businesses and employees.
This follows from a statement by the Council of the Business Ombudsman, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"The lion's share of revenue is proposed to come from two sources: a 1% military tax on the income of legal entities on the general system (in essence, this is a turnover tax in addition to the existing income tax), a military tax on income increased from 1.5% to 5% citizens. Thus, the bill creates conditions for disproportionate pressure on bona fide businesses and employees," the message states.
At the same time, according to the notification, the new type of turnover tax will complicate the already difficult administration of taxes and fees, creating new corruption risks.
The Business Ombudsman Council calls for its recommendations to be taken into account in further legislative changes.
Also, the Council of the Business Ombudsman indicates the need to implement the principle of "consulting first," the main goal of which, in its own investigation of tax audits, is timely and constant communication with taxpayers.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in mid-July, the Cabinet of Ministers approved bills proposing to raise taxes by a total of UAH 140 billion by the end of the year and to increase spending on defense and security forces by UAH 495.3 billion.
