Ukrainian corruption fighters taunt the Russian aggressors. They assure Ukrainians that they don’t have to declare Russian equipment in their tax returns. After all, changing the owner usually destroys it.
Amid the Russian invasion, Ukraine’s national anti-corruption agency has said captured Russian tanks and other equipment don’t need to be declared on tax returns. Reason: “This scrap is worth far too little.”
The threshold for declaring assets in Ukraine is the equivalent of around 720 euros. However, vehicles must be listed regardless of their value.
“Thanks to the courage and achievements of the defenders of Ukraine, enemy military equipment usually comes into your hands destroyed and unusable,” the agency said. This makes it impossible to quantify the value in accordance with legal regulations. In addition, the items would not change hands as part of a normal transaction, but in connection with the “large-scale aggression of the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022 against the independent and sovereign Ukrainian state as a continuation of the insidious attack by the Russian Federation on Ukraine that began in 2014 “.
Until the defeat of the “racist invaders” and the end of martial law, Ukrainians will not have to waste time filling out forms, it said. It is important to defend “one’s own freedom, peace in Europe and the world as well as Ukraine”.
The authorities demanded that the Russian tanks “piss off”. She assured: If you would like to declare Russian equipment in your tax return, you can of course do so.
