Useless populism

Cabinet proposes to abolish the market fee for businesses engaged in wholesale and retail trade. Government's initiative designed to encourage small businesses to switch from a fixed to a single tax. On the tax burden is not substantially affect, but also threatens the redistribution of funds from local budgets in favor of the Pension Fund.

Yulia Tymoshenko said on the irrationality of existence of market data collection, which, according to her, is not charged in other countries, brings little to the local budgets, and, as a rule, is going to shadow image. The total size of this collection in Ukraine in the tens of billions of UAH, but the local budgets come to a total of 500 million - said the Prime Minister. - It is clear that this tax is not administered in local budgets does not fall. In this regard, the head of the government, it intends to send a speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn and the profile committees of the Verkhovna Rada of treatment to consider as a priority bill to abolish the market fee. Last Wednesday the Cabinet approved the draft law at its meeting.

Willingness to adjust the rules of the game for small business Tymoshenko's government has demonstrated in the past. In December 2008, the Parliament adopted in first reading a bill, designed by Sergei Teryokhin (BYuT faction), proposed that the collection of market to market tax, which was supposed to be charged for each meter of land area of the market (including aisles and driveways), and the rate of at 20-200 times greater than the current rate of market fee. The project has public dissatisfaction with business representatives. However, before the second reading of the bill at the hands of legislators have never reached.

As for the proposal to abolish the premier market data collection, the initiative of the Cabinet will not be happy, and local officials, who as a result of the abolition of the collection formed hole in the budget, especially if the market fee will be abolished from January next year.

Deputy head of the committee Rada prompolitike and entrepreneurship Ksenia Lyapina (PSD) is convinced that the proposal of the Cabinet is in conflict with the existing legislative framework. Entrepreneurs are appalled by this initiative. The business that is engaged in wholesale and retail trade, working at a fixed taxes subject to payment of market fees, - commented on the i proposal deputy prime minister. According to her, the abolition of market fee would force employers to move to a flat tax that would increase their tax obligations to the State by 30-50%. From that lose local budgets. But to grow revenue in the state budget, in particular, to the Pension Fund, - added the MP.

note that for fixed tax 100% of market fee and 90% of the tax goes to local budgets, and the remaining 10% goes to PF and the Employment Fund. And when paying a single tax of 50% ended up in local budgets, other funds are sent to PF and Employment Fund.

first deputy head of the parliamentary committee on the tax and customs policy Nikolay Kruglov (Regions Party) believes that the government be better to first submit a bill referred to the Rada and wait until he goes committees. The MPs themselves want to understand what the market dues, and how he must pay, - says Mr. Kruglov .- But even if changes in tax legislation are adopted, they will enter into force until the new budget year. If the parliament cancels market dues, said the deputy, then rolled a substantial source of income of local budgets, and the Cabinet will have her in some way overlap. By the way, deputies from the opposition plans to file a bill, an alternative government.

However, the entrepreneurs interviewed noted the lack of difference in principle, on which of the two taxes theywork. Fixed tax for wholesale and retail business is 100 UAH. Month. If one adds to it and the market fee (from 5 to 20 UAH. /Day), the amount of the tax burden would be almost equivalent to the uniform tax (200 grn. Per month) - said one of the businessmen, saying that with a single tax on it to work more convenient.
