On Tuesday, April 7, the Verkhovna Rada adopted as a basis and in general bill No. 15110, which extends the obligation to pay a military fee at an increased rate of 5% for three years after the war. 257 people’s deputies voted for him.
This was reported by the broadcast of the meeting of the parliament, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
For individual entrepreneurs of the first, second and fourth groups, the rate will be 10% of the minimum wage, for single tax payers of the third group (FLP and legal entities) – 1% of income.
Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko explained that this decision is the implementation of the “structural beacons” of the International Monetary Fund program and is necessary to ensure the stability of state financing.
In 2025, revenues from the military levy to the general fund of the state budget amounted to 163.6 billion UAH. This is enough to finance the state’s defense spending for 22 days.
Three years after the end of the war, the rate will return to 1.5%, which were valid until 2024.
During the consideration of the bill in the Tax Committee, the deputies agreed with the Ministry to add to the Budget Code the norm according to which the funds from the military fee should be credited to a special fund of the state budget and directed exclusively to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In October 2024, parliament passed a law providing for an increase in the military fee from 1.5% to 5%. Also introduced a military fee for FOP: 1% of income for single tax payers of group III; 10% of the minimum wage for individual entrepreneurs – single tax payers of groups I, II and IV (i.e. 800 UAH). The changes were launched on December 1, 2024.
