The Verkhovna Rada has adopted bill No. 3329-d, which proposes to extend a number of benefits for business, and shortened the time for preparing it for second reading.
This decision was supported by 336 MPs with the quorum being 226.
According to the text of the draft law, it provides for the extension of the term for non-application of fines for violation of tax legislation from March 1 to the last calendar day of the month in which quarantine ends.
In addition, the document, if adopted as a whole, extends the period of non-payment of penalties and moratorium on inspections for the same period, as well as exemption of individual entrepreneurs who conduct independent professional activities from May 1 to May 31, 2020 from paying social security tax.
“This bill extends the benefits that are ending today,” Yaroslav Zhelezniak, the deputy head of the Holos faction, said on April 30, pointing out the need to adopt the bill as a basis and in general.
However, three factions refused its consideration at second reading.
Among other things, the bill proposes to reduce the requirements for the minimum charter capital from Hr 500 million to Hr 200 million, and also extends the duration of the law on simplifying the procedures for the reorganization and capitalization of banks, which ends on April 1, until 2024.
