“This code is the most realistic one, but it is not perfect. In the process of debate, all suggestions and comments were taken into account. Entrepreneurs who use the single tax system are perfectly capable of paying Hr 600. It used to be Hr 200, and I think it was unpatriotic. The tax code is a bible for businessmen. It’s a two-way partnership. It’s a tool for bringing taxes out of the shadows.”
Tetyana Neteshyna,
lawyer
“Some people support the new tax code; others do not. From what I am hearing, I think that imposing high taxes on small and medium businesses is not a good idea. But there are companies with very high earnings that only pay Hr 200 in taxes. So, for their income I think that this tax code is fair.”
Mark Yefymov,
pensioner
“There have always been lots of these codes, but no result. It’s not going to get better with either taxes, or anything else in our country.”
Andriy Degun,
engineer
“I think that our tax system will continue being unfair, just like it has been. Moreover, with the new code all that people will be working for is to afford to pay taxes. What are they going to eat in this case? I think many businesses will simply die.”
Iryna Sidorenko,
architect
“It is unfair. The tax system is already suffocating business. Now, instead of investing in the development of our company, we will have to pay more taxes. Very soon, private companies will stop functioning altogether.”
