Poroshenko approved a bill that refer self-employed individual farmers to single tax payers

President Petro Poroshenko approved the bill, according to which the self-employed individual (SEI), who are engaged in the business within the farm, will be referred to economic entities applying a simplified system of taxation, accounting and reporting.

In addition, the document amended the law "On State Support for Agriculture in Ukraine," according to which family farms - payers of the single tax of the 4th group receive additional financial support through the mechanism of co-payment in favor of the insured persons - members of this economy single contribution to the mandatory state social insurance in the amount of: 0,9 minimum insurance premium - the first year; 0,8 - the second year and so on to 0,1 minimum insurance premium for the ninth and tenth years.

Such assistance is provided at the expense of the funds provided for in the state budget.
