At the extraordinary session of the Ternopil Regional Council, among other things, they talked about food security of the state. Deputies appealed to the country’s leadership to support the initiative of the People’s Deputy from Ternopil Ivan Tchaikovsky to temporarily introduce a 0% VAT rate on food.
“This will allow us to reduce food prices in our stores and support Ukrainian producers. This means that there will be new jobs, salaries will increase, taxes will come to the budget and our army will be supported, ”said Volodymyr Boleshchuk, First Deputy Chairman of the Ternopil Regional Council.
“This issue is important, because with the injection of information hysteria, prices have risen sharply. That is why it is necessary to support our citizens. Zero VAT will affect the reduction of prices, especially for socially significant products, ”said Oleg Bobersky, authorized representative of the For the Future parliamentary faction in the Ternopil Regional Council.
It will be recalled that Bill 7023, initiated by the For the Future Party parliamentary group, has already been registered in the Verkhovna Rada. If the parliamentarians support it, the zero VAT on food will be in force in our country until January 1, 2023.
