In an interview with \u201cNovyny.Live\u201d Hetmantsev noted that the Ukrainian economy has exhausted its opportunities to increase taxes. Previously, the parliamentarian voiced the same opinion, in particular, in the podcast of the EP \u201cChronicles of the Economy\u201d. At the moment, Ukraine does not have the resources to increase revenues by increasing tax rates.<\/p>\n
\u201cRaising (rates \u2013 ed.) taxes is not about eliminating distortions, schemes, tax evasion. I will not be deceitful \u2013 not everything is good in our economy. Our GDP growth has slowed down significantly. And this is a marker that consumption is falling, switching to cheaper goods. That is, people are starting to save and poverty is growing. And this is a problem for the economy as a whole. Therefore, I do not see any opportunities to increase the rates of basic taxes,\u201d Hetmantsev noted.<\/p>\n
He added that he considers it immoral to talk about increasing taxes for the population against the background of the fact that many businesses continue to operate in the shadows. According to the parliamentarian, any increase in the tax rate falls on the white payer, but at the same time is an additional incentive for the black payer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must focus on ensuring that there are no black payers, that there are no these huge networks that sell and are divided into individual entrepreneurs,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Hetmantsev noted that tax evasion, in particular through division into individual entrepreneurs, is one of the reasons why the International Monetary Fund is urging Ukraine to abandon VAT benefits for self-employed entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you do not know how to administer, allow big business to mimic small business and brazenly evade VAT, why should we give you money to pay salaries to teachers, doctors, to pay pensions and so on?\u201d the parliamentarian described the situation.<\/p>\n
Recall that in early February, information appeared that the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine was completing the development of a draft law that provides for an increase in taxes for businesses, and plans to soften it in terms of introducing VAT for individual entrepreneurs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
