Ukrainians who own cars worth 375 minimum wages must pay a flat tax once a year: 25 thousand hryvnias.
This is stated in the OBOZREVATEL material. If before the transport tax was paid based on the size of the engine, now the method has been complicated. The Ministry of Economic Development, Commerce and Agriculture publishes on its website a list of cars that will have to be paid additionally until February 1. In addition, officials have developed a special calculator that allows you to calculate the cost of a car.
There are several disadvantages to this technique. A technical error is possible, in which the department for some reason may “forget” to mention some rare cars. In addition, the task has become more difficult for Ukrainians: if the notification does not arrive, it is difficult to know independently whether to pay or not.
Auto lawyer Denis Kovalenko says: Taxpayers are exempt from liability if for some reason they have not received a “letter.” However, the tax authorities have the right to collect the unpaid amount within three years. So, if you didn’t pay this year due to inattention from tax officials, it’s quite possible that next year you’ll have to pay double.
So, the amount of the tax is 25 thousand hryvnia. Those who need to pay according to the new rules:
-
whose car is not more than 5 years old;
-
the cost of the car is 375 minimum wages (in 2020 it is 1.7 million UAH).
What if you don’t pay taxes?
If you don’t pay within 60 days, the tax will increase. If you pay in the first 90 days, plus 10% of the penalty, after 90 days, 20%. Also, a car or other property can be impounded (a so-called tax lien).
You can use the car as a pledge, but you will not be able to sell or donate it. In addition, the tax authorities have the right to take the car, sell it, receive payment of the amount received and return the change to the already old owner of the car. It is true that such a situation is very rare. Often times, debtors pay the bills immediately after the tax lien.
We will recall, OBOZREVATEL previously wrote, that individual entrepreneurs who have already retired due to age may no longer pay for themselves a unified social contribution (ERU).
Ukrainians have the right to return part of the income tax paid (personal income tax, 18% of salary). If last year a taxpayer paid for education (your child), paid interest on a mortgage, spent money on medical treatment, paid insurance (including pension).
