New anti-crisis law introduced a number of tax changes in Ukraine
Ukraine introduced a new anti-crisis law “On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and Some Other Legislative Acts of Ukraine”, No. 1621, dd. July 31, 2014.
The main purpose of the Law is to increase revenues to the state budget and ensure fairness in taxation. The Law introduced a number of important changes in the tax legislation of Ukraine, in particular:
- established a military contribution to be withheld from salaries;
- strengthened control over VAT administration;

Some provisions of the Law have already come into force on August 3, 2014, while other provisions will take effect on September 1, October 1 and January 1, 2015.
