The Verkhovna Rada has introduced temporary taxation of excess profits of banks at a rate of 5%.
229 parliamentarians voted for the adoption of bill No. 9656-d in the second reading, with the minimum required 226, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
As the Member of the Verkhovna Rada from the Holos faction Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported on his Telegram channel, at the insistence of the IMF, the Ministry of Finance and the NBU, the text of the document was changed from the first reading.
This norm will be in the updated memorandum (which is expected in mid-December).
According to the bill:
- bank income tax for 2023 will be 50%;
- in the following years, starting from 2024, there will be a rate of 25%.
According to the Ministry of Finance, this will bring only UAH 24-25 billion for 2023.
Further, this amount can be UAH 6-7 billion.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, solvent banks for January-September 2023 received UAH 109.9 billion of net profit compared to UAH 7.4 billion for the same period last year.
