Military levy’s revenues exceeded the last year’s revenues by 14.2 million UAH or 5.2% over the corresponding period in 2019. Taxpayers transferred almost 30 million UAH of the military levy in November 2020.
Specialists of Main Directorate of the STS in Trans-Carpathian region are convinced that stable military levy’s revenues is a result of employers’ responsible position. After all, they pay their employees and transfer tax payments in a timely manner. As a result, the state budget consistently receives funds to support the army.
It is worth remembering that only those who work officially, receiving legal income, pay contributions to the army’s needs, as the military tax is levied on income, including wages, other incentive, compensation payments or other payments and rewards paid to the taxpayer in connection with the employment relationship. Therefore, taxpayers who want to support the army must take care of payment and receipt of legal income.
Reference: military levy was introduced in Ukraine in August 2014 as an additional source of army’s funding and support. Its rate is 1.5% of taxable income. Payers of the military levy are individuals – residents and non-residents who receive income in Ukraine. Employers are responsible for paying military levy to the budget when calculating income in the form of wages in the taxpayer’s favor.
