Import duties and VAT for drones are cancelled!
Perhaps the most urgent need of our army, especially in the face of an active counter-offensive, is unmanned aerial vehicles. In modern wars, it is drones that provide tactical superiority over the enemy and, most importantly, save thousands of the best of the best lives.
On June 22 this year, two most important laws came into force at once: the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Customs Code of Ukraine on the exemption from import duty taxation of certain defense goods, goods for the needs of the production and / or repair of unmanned systems" and the Law of Ukraine "On introducing amendments to subsection 2 of section XX "Transitional Provisions" of the Tax Code of Ukraine on exemption from taxation by value added tax of operations for the import of goods for the needs of production and / or repair of unmanned systems.
So, for the period of martial law, the imposition of import duties on components of unmanned systems and the imposition of value-added tax on the operation of importing such components of unmanned systems into the customs territory of Ukraine under the customs regime have been canceled.
What does it mean? Increasing the production of new and repairing damaged unmanned systems. After all, now the money that could be spent on VAT and import duties can be used to increase the number of drones.
We draw the attention of enterprises that use goods for the production/repair of unmanned systems in their production activities to the specific procedure that is necessary for the implementation of which is necessary for exemption from import duties and VAT, as well as the availability of a list of goods subject to such benefits. Therefore, if you have doubts about the correctness of paperwork, our team will help in solving problematic issues.
