– Proposed bills №10078 and №10079 suggest exempting unmanned aerial vehicles, optical and collimator sights, night vision sights or thermal imaging sights from import duties and value-added tax during the period of martial law in Ukraine.
– The bills aim to address the significant and urgent need for drones in the Ukrainian military, as they have proven to be important for effective defense against Russian aggression.
– The Ukrainian Armed Forces require drones in quantities that cannot be fully met by the government or Ukrainian charitable foundations.
– Humanitarian aid from abroad also does not cover all the demands, and importing drones on other legal grounds than humanitarian aid requires payment of customs duties.
– Therefore, the introduction of short-term tax incentives for the importation of these goods into Ukraine is seen as a possible solution to prevent a shortage of drones, sights, and night vision devices for the Ukrainian military.
