The Ukrainian government is proposing a tax hike to fund its fight against Russia, sparking controversies with businesses. The plan includes war taxes on individuals and businesses to raise funds for defense spending.
While the government argues it’s necessary, major business associations oppose the move, fearing it will strain struggling businesses and fuel tax evasion. Amidst the debate, the American Chamber of Commerce criticized the tax hike as discriminatory against honest taxpayers.
On another front, KPMG Ukraine reports a rise in mergers and acquisitions, hinting at a recovering economy. However, challenges like energy supply issues and debt remain. In a contrasting development, Ukrainian startup, Esper Bionics, is providing bionic prosthetics to soldiers, mirroring the spirit of ‘cyborgs’ from past conflicts.
As Ukraine navigates through economic and geopolitical challenges, it remains resilient, signing crucial defense contracts, boosting gas production, and exploring nuclear power expansion with international support.
