Reminder! Military levy has been introduced in Ukraine since August 2014 as an additional source of funding and support for Ukrainian army. Its rate is 1.5% of taxable income. Taxpayers of the military levy are individuals – residents and non-residents who receive income in Ukraine. Employers who accrue income in the form of wages in taxpayer’s favor are responsible for calculating levy to the budget.
“It is worth remembering that payment of military levy is a reasonable contribution of every citizen to maintain the defense capabilities of Ukrainian army and establish peace in our country.” – summarized Ivan Punko.
