At the end of October, Ukrainians may face a decrease in salaries due to an increase in military levy. This was warned by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, noting that the government plans to increase the military levy from 1.5% to 5% from November 1, 2024.
By this time, many Ukrainians will have already received an advance payment – including a military levy of another 1.5%.
"And what should the employer do? He has already paid the advance and will not take the money back? Here the Ministry of Finance proposes to simply take this money when paying the salary. That is, somewhere at the end of this month, people will receive a salary that is already -3.5% less due to the increase in military duty, and also minus the money from the advance," Zheleznyak writes.
Earlier, the head of the tax committee, Hetmantsev, stated that in addition to the military levy, VAT would also have to be increased.
