The Tax Service will be able to initiate blocking of sites. People's Deputy Fedienko warned that providers were not explained how to do this, so third-party resources may also be blocked.
Starting in 2027, Ukrainian internet providers will be required to block websites based on tax decisions within three business days. But MP Oleksandr Fedienko pointed out that the legislation does not explain exactly how operators should block and what to do if third-party resources accidentally fall under restrictions.
Starting in 2027, Ukrainian internet providers will be required to block websites based on tax decisions within three business days. But MP Oleksandr Fedienko pointed out that the legislation does not explain exactly how operators should block and what to do if third-party resources accidentally fall under restrictions.
Fedienko talks about this on Facebook. The law is No. 4903-IX , which establishes rules for taxation of income from digital platforms. It also introduces new rules for online sellers of alcohol, tobacco products, and e-cigarettes.
From January 1, 2027, resources through which such products are sold must be entered into a special register of the State Tax Service. If the State Tax Service finds a site that carries out such sales but is not in the register, it will be able to initiate its blocking.
During martial law, this will work like this:
The State Tax Service makes a decision and within five working days transfers it to the National Center for Operational and Technical Management of Electronic Communication Networks (NCU).
The NCU has three business days to issue an order to providers.
Providers receive three more business days to restrict access to the specified sites in Ukraine.
For failure to comply with the blocking requirements, providers face a fine of UAH 34,000, and for repeated violation within a year - UAH 68,000.
But, as Fedienko notes, the law does not specify a specific technical method of blocking. For example, whether access should be restricted via DNS, IP addresses, or specific URLs.
The deputy draws attention to the fact that blocking by IP address can affect third-party sites that use the same server infrastructure. In addition, how should the operator act if it receives an erroneous list of resources, and who will be responsible for correcting the error. According to him, he has prepared parliamentary appeals to the State Tax Service, the National Consumer Protection Commission and the National Consumer Protection Commission to obtain clarification.
"The country's digital infrastructure is not a "block" button in an official's office," Fedienko emphasizes.
Earlier, dev.ua wrote that the State Service for Special Communications has prepared a draft law that should expand the powers of the National Communications Commission. In particular, its orders are proposed to be made mandatory for operators even in peacetime, and requirements issued during martial law will remain in force for another six months after its end.
