Artem Semenyshyn, Director of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine, and Tetyana Lysovets, Senior Partner of Sokolovsky & Partners, met with Yaroslav Zheleznyak, First Deputy Chairman of the Tax Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
The discussion focuses on the initiative of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to introduce an excise tax for “green” energy producers, which is contained in Government Bill 5600. This bill is already under consideration in the Tax Committee of the Verkhovna Rada.
In addition to the contradictory norm on excise duty for “green” energy, the bill also contains a number of other contradictory norms in the field of tax legislation and therefore needs to be carefully revised.
