"Yes, during the martial law, individuals, sole proprietors and legal entities will be able to postpone reporting - tax, financial, accounting, settlement or audit. There will also be no checks on the timeliness and completeness of reporting, liability for non-payment of taxes will be abolished, tax audits will not begin, military assistance will not be taxed without prior or subsequent reimbursement of their value; licenses for the production of excisable products continue to be valid.
