The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine recently passed in the second reading the draft law No. 11416-d, which introduces a military tax for individual entrepreneurs. It is expected that the document will be signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the near future and will come into force. What changes await entrepreneurs and when they will come into effect are described below.


General provisions of the new law


The new law provides for the introduction of a military fee for all groups of individual entrepreneurs starting in October 2024. This means that in the near future, entrepreneurs on the simplified taxation system will face new financial obligations.
