Verkhovna Rada deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported on his Telegram channel that the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk signed a bill on raising taxes in the country.
“The speaker has already signed the tax bill and sent it to the president’s office. In the near future, we expect the signature of the president [of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky] there (in the president’s office. — Gazeta.Ru), then publication, and then the law will come into force in a day, which will increase taxes,” Zheleznyak shared.
He explained that the bill proposes increasing the military tax from 1.5% to 5%, as well as increasing the tax on bank profits to 50%.
On October 11, Verkhovna Rada deputy, member of the pro-presidential party faction “Servant of the People” and the Committee on Energy and Housing and Utilities Yuriy Kamelchuk stated that the recent tax increase in Ukraine is not the last, because no one will give money to the country.
On October 10, the Ukrainian parliament adopted a draft historic law on increasing taxes.
Earlier, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine accused Syrsky of being ready to capitulate.
