Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko announced that international parcels will soon be taxed in Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He told<\/span><\/a> lb.ua<\/span> about this<\/span> .<\/p>\n

According to him, talks about levying taxes on international shipments began two years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marchenko explained that most operators who import their goods from abroad legally are uncompetitive in the Ukrainian market. However, taxation will help partially level the imbalance.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I would like to note that the negative trade balance this year could reach $45 billion. This should cause some sobering up about how and where we are moving,” the minister emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, he noted that most small packages arrive in Ukraine from \u201cone country, which in a geopolitical sense is sometimes unfriendly.\u201d Most likely, Marchenko was referring to China.<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that Ukraine will implement European practice. This means that the tax will be paid when purchasing goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how it works in the European Union. We were supposed to get to this point anyway, we’ll just get there in a year. Not right from January 1. We’ll have time to prepare and reorganize,\u201d the head of the Ministry of Finance summed up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recall that earlier the National Bank of Ukraine proposed to introduce taxation on parcels<\/a> worth up to 150 euros, as well as electric vehicles and luxury items.<\/p>\n
