"Political PR in the war," Hetmantsev said that not so much with the tax reform "All on 10"
ua by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Danilo Getmantsev. "What is the goal of this show? Exactly not reform. Rather political PR. Only half a year after the announcement of this concept did the idea of compensators of the state budget from reducing tax rates. Avokes doubt), the introduction of export duties on raw materials, the abolition of some benefits and the fight against salary FOPs.
But again, all this should be drawn up in the form of a bill with an explanatory note, and only then can you start at least some discussion, "Danilo said Getmantsev. At the same time, the politician emphasized the inappropriateness of this reform, after which they plan to reduce the rate of three taxes in Ukraine and cancel a single social contribution (ESA). "But, for example, in the EU where we seek, there is no country where there is no ESA. Or reducing VAT rate twice.
But it is far from the highest in Ukraine. In Poland VAT - 23%, 27%in Hungary, in Greece - 24%, and in Sweden - 25% (as well as we have medicines and fuel now, reduced tax rates on individual social goods can be used. ) And VAT is a tax on consumption that does not affect business at all Therefore, as long as the ideologues of this reform are not expressive. I hope when they will still make a bill to Parliament, their position will be stronger and more justified, "Getmantsev said.
Recall that at the heart of the new tax model "10-10-10"-proposals of a number of Ukrainian economists. Thus, in September 2022, the director of the economic programs of the Ukrainian Institute of the future explained the focus that the need for tax reform was ripe against the background of a difficult economic situation in Ukraine. "The Ukrainian economy is in a difficult state and business is bleeding, while the economy is a base for defense of the country.
We have not created the conditions under which Ukrainian business can be competitive. Ukraine is bypassed by Ukraine. Economic Freedom Index, as well as the 65th place in the world for taxes. Ukraine is an under -invested country. Officials continue to milk business, considering it a norm. The state does not create conditions, business goes into shadows, 40% of the economy now in the shadows. No - they have learned to go around. The state due to the lack of resources.
The prerequisites that the system need to be changed. Tax reform is what needs to be done, "Anatoly Amelin said. The expert believes that thanks to tax reform, Ukraine will be able to develop the economy. Discussions about whether the idea "10-10-10" can find a real embodiment in the form of changes to the Tax Code is still ongoing. The reform is employed by the specialists of the Presidential Office, the Cabinet of Ministers and a number of analytical centers.
But experts in 2022 skeptically evaluated the chances of reform for implementation. "It is necessary to reduce taxes, but I doubt that it is possible to instantly reduce VAT to 10%. The problem is a free trade agreement with the EU, it is difficult to have this agreement when there are various consumption taxes in the countries. Ukraine has joined the euroudent There can be no less than 15%, "said Vladimir Dubrovsky, a senior economist and member of the CASE Supervisory Board.
NBU Council Member Vitaliy Shapran says that before the end of the war, deputies are unlikely to go for practical changes in the tax system. "It is almost impossible to predict how the market will reform. Meanwhile, draft laws # 8298 and # 8299 have been developed in Ukraine and proposes to introduce tax and customs benefits for industry and business during martial law. The purpose of the laws is to support the domestic industry and business during the war.
