Herewith, composition and volume of assets, sources of receipt (acquisition) of which in case of the individual’s non-use of right to submit the one-time (special) voluntary declaration are considered to be those from which taxes and levies were fully paid according to tax legislation, namely:
immovable property located on the territory of Ukraine, which as of the end of a period of the one-time (special) voluntary declaration belonged to individual on the ownership right (including joint common or joint partial ownership), confirmed by the relevant state registers, in the size of:
