The Bill (Reg.№4262) envisages the abolition of the temporary special-purpose additional charge at the rate of 13 percent on the current rates of the entrance tax on certain goods implemented on the 06.03 2009 by the "Law on Amendments to the certain Laws of Ukraine aimed at the melioration of the External Balance of Ukraine because of the World Finance Crisis".
Instead it is envisaged that the register of the common state taxes should be added by the new extra import charge through the implementation of the amendments to the Law "On Taxation System".
Pursuant to the Bill, the amendments should be introduced to the Law "On External Economic Activity".
During the Meeting of the Chairman of the Committee, S. Teriokhin stressed that the norms of the Bill contradict with the Constitution of Ukraine.
It was also mentioned that the Bill does not correspond to the Law "On Taxation System".
Moreover the Members of the Committee deem the Law does not correspond to the Memorandum on Economic and Finance Policy with the International Monetary Fund, consequently the implementation of the Bill norms may complicate the further cooperation with IMF.
