The "Servant of the People" faction has proposed taxing the purchase of a new iPhone by Ukrainians and paying more taxes on salaries exceeding UAH 20,000. This proposal was voiced by Roksolana Pidlasa, a member of the "Servant of the People" faction in parliament and head of the Verkhovna Rada Budget Committee, during a telethon.
The presenter asked the people's deputy where to get money for mobilization and the continuation of the war.
"I am in favor of a progressive tax scale. If you earn little, you shouldn't have to pay a big tax even now. And if you earn more than UAH 20,000, you could pay a military tax of 3% instead of 1.5%. People's deputies have higher salaries, we could pay 5%. It would be fair," the MP said in response to a question.
She also suggested introducing an additional luxury tax for expensive goods.
"We can also think about a luxury tax. Despite the war, we have a huge number of cars and expensive equipment entering the country. We see from customs statistics how many laptops and phones we import every month. If it is a new iPhone for 60-70 thousand hryvnias, it may be subject to additional customs duties," said the head of the Budget Committee.
