Prime Minister of
Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko
has commissioned the profile ministries to study an opportunity for introducing
a single agriculture tax, Government portal reported.
“The farmers are ready
to pay the same tax, they want to pay even more but they request to make
transparent calculation,” the Prime Minister noted.
Tymoshenko also initiates
redistribution of expenses of the Stabilization fund and urges to direct
additional UAH 200 million to support farmers. Taking into account UAH 26
million, already planned, the sum for backing farmer’s economies will total UAH
226 million. The Head of Government announced during a meeting with farmers.
Yulia Tymoshenko hopes by the end of
week the Budget Committee of the Verkhovna Rada will approve a respective
decision on redistribution of funds which would significantly facilitate
farmer’s economies in the course of spring-field works.
In his turn, president
of the Association of Farmers and Private Landowners Ivan Tomych
said that a relevant bill is already drafted and draws on the Polish
experience. “We want to have a simple, mutually beneficial tax policy long
since …We are ready to pay fiscal tax 2.5fold as much but it should be the
single tax that regulates relations,” Ivan Tomych
stressed.
