On April 29, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a bill concerning tax reporting for operators of digital platforms, including online services for taxi, real estate rentals, and marketplaces.
This was announced by Taras Melnychuk, the government representative in the Verkhovna Rada.
According to the bill, which was publicized by Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada's committee on tax and customs policy, operators of digital platforms will be recognized as tax agents and will automatically deduct taxes from citizens earning income from sales of goods or services through their platforms.
The tax rate will be set at 5%, with an additional 5% for military contributions.
This applies to any type of activity carried out by sellers through the platform for a fee:
leasing real estate, including residential and commercial properties, as well as other types of real estate and parking spaces;
personal services;
sale of goods;
vehicle rentals.
It is expected that the tax rate may rise to 18% if the annual income exceeds 834 minimum wages.
