The Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Danylo Getmantsev, noted that another «betrayal» is taking place in Ukraine regarding the tax authorities, which can find out through checks who is selling goods and accuse them of doing business without registration.
Previously, Olga Vasilevska-Smaglyuk, a member of parliament from the Servant of the People party and deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, stated that if a person sells things online more than 3 times a year, the tax authorities may be interested in this person, because he is a systematic seller.
In response to this, Hetmantsev noted that another betrayal is underway regarding the tax authorities, which can find out through checks who is selling goods and accuse them of doing business without registration.
«Entrepreneurship is an independent, at one’s own risk, systematic activity with the aim of making a profit. No, selling used socks, even worn out ones, even more than 3 times, even more than 30, is not and will never be entrepreneurship. And no, you don’t need to register as an individual entrepreneur for this. Sometimes it seems that neither those who make statements nor those who comment on them simply have nothing to do, but to open and read the law of laziness. There is no betrayal, we disagree,» he said.
Hetmantsev also emphasized that if this is a real business without registration, then yes, there will be problems. «I don’t see any reason why those who work illegally have the right to advantage over those who are registered,» he added.
Previously, the State Tax Service denied rumors that the tax service had allegedly begun fining sellers from OLX, Prom, social networks, and other platforms and was automatically tracking all money transfers to individuals' accounts, even if they were selling personal items online.
However, information in the court registry indicates that tax officials are still trying to fine sellers of feeders, key chains, and other cheap goods. We wrote about this in detail here .
