Mikhail Nepraan, the First Vice President of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, discussed the implications of taxing packages from foreign marketplaces. Nepraan emphasized that many Ukrainian businesses advocate for removing tax exemptions on imported goods, arguing that the current system creates unfair competition for local manufacturers and results in significant budget losses each year.
According to Nepraan, last year, 56% of all international packages were not taxed, totaling around 93 billion UAH. Since the onset of the full-scale war, the cumulative tax losses have soared to 43 billion UAH, raising concerns over the sustainability of current business practices and government revenue.
