Taxpayers of Ternopil region transferred 277.9 million UAH of military levy to general fund of the state budget during January – November 2020. This was reported by Head of Main Directorate of the STS in Ternopil region Ivan Punko.
Tax official summarized that the payment exceeded expectations almost by 25.8 million UAH or 10.2%. “Revenues from this fee have increased by 20.9 million UAH comparing to the corresponding period in 2019” – said Head of Main Directorate of the STS in Ternopil region.
Ivan Punko also reminded that payers of the military levy are individuals – residents and non-residents who receive income in Ukraine and its rate is 1.5% of taxable income.
“It should be recalled that Ukrainian army will receive stable funds to address urgent issues only through legal employment” – specified Ivan Punko. – Therefore, I urge employers not to allow the facts of “shadow” employment. After all, improperly executed labor relations deprive employees of social guarantees, reduce budget revenues, and thus the possibility of strengthening the country’s defense capabilities.
