Tax Free Russian Tanks

 

Some Ukrainians are currently sitting at home with an arsenal of Putin’s military equipment, and have no idea how to declare it on their tax return. According to Ukraine’s taxation department, there is no need to worry!

Ukraine has been able to maintain its sense of humor while defending the country. On the Ukrainian tax agencies website, a statement was released that said the seizure of Russian tanks and other military equipment is a “Manifestation of the unity and cohesion of the Ukrainian people in the fight against their invaders.” The statement also urged the Ukrainian people to continue to protect the motherland.

The technical reason for the reason they do not have to declare is because the cost of seizing a tank “does not exceed 100 living wages” for the tanks to be declared, they would have to exceed 248,100 Ukrainian hryvnia, which equates to 8,300 American dollars.

Ukrainian sources say that fearless people all over the country have been seizing military equipment from Russian aggressors. The Ukrainian tax department decided to urge its people to continue the freedom fight, instead of reminding them of tax implications. The Ukrainian government has urged its people to do everything they can to defend the country.

It is not often that tax can lift people’s spirits, but the Ukrainian authorities have done just that!
