Yesterday, on December 14, an important Online Training on ‘Current Taxation Issues for Affected Agribusinesses’ took place. The event became particularly interesting due to the discussion of several key topics crucial for entrepreneurs and agribusiness owners within the project ‘Support for agro-SMEs affected by active hostilities or temporary occupation of the Russian Federation,’ initiated by the Ukrainian Agrarian Council (UAC) in collaboration with the USAID Agricultural and Rural Development Program.
Initiated at the end of September this year, the project focuses on three key directions:
1. Assistance to agro-SMEs affected by hostilities.
2. Protection of rights and assets of agro-SMEs.
3. Restoration of operations in de-occupied territories.
“Our project not only provides legal assistance to farmers but also directs the government and international partners towards addressing issues in the Ukrainian agro-sector. The main goal is to help agricultural producers document incurred losses,” emphasized UAC Deputy Chairman, Dmytro Kokhan.
During the training, Olga Bohdanova, UAC Deputy Chairman for Tax Issues and Managing Partner at Crowe Erfolg Ukraine, Crowe A&A Ukraine, discussed the following topics:
✅ Application of the Ministry of Reintegration’s order (list of territories affected by (currently undergoing) hostilities or temporarily occupied) for tax relief purposes.
✅ Extension of the application period for preferential taxation for SMEs in agriculture, unified and land taxes.
✅ Reporting adjustments: SMEs for 2022-2023, unified tax for the 4th group, land and environmental taxes, etc.
✅ Tax exemptions for lands under conservation or contaminated with explosive objects.
✅ Exemptions for destroyed real estate or those requiring major repairs.
✅ Share of agricultural production in affected agrarians.
Additionally, during the event, agrarians were presented with the project ‘Support for agro-SMEs affected by active hostilities or temporary occupation of the Russian Federation.’ This project is implemented by the Worldwide Development Agency (VAR) with the support of the USAID Agricultural and Rural Development Program – AGRO.
The training was attended by 111 agribusiness representatives, and the live stream on Facebook gathered over 400 views. The informative value of the training lay in addressing over 50 practical questions from participants.
