The main legal department of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine stated that the proposed draft law on raising taxes in its current version does not comply with the Constitution of Ukraine. This caused a wide resonance among politicians and economists, as tax changes can significantly affect the economic situation in the country.
Its separate provisions are not consistent with the laws of Ukraine and do not take into account the legal position of the Constitutional Court.
In particular, the State Supreme Court concluded that the proposed format for the payment of advance tax payments does not comply with the principle of equality of all payers before the law.
It is also stated that the rule on retroactive assessment of taxes for October contradicts the article of the Constitution that the law does not have retroactive effect.
