Despite the war, the country’s local budgets record a historical excess of revenues over expenditures. This became possible, in particular, thanks to higher revenues from personal income tax (PIT) of the military.
As a result, according to CES calculations, the costs of local communities for improvement (compared to 2021) increased by 45%, and for roads – by 80%.
The latest initiative of the government proposes to redistribute the “military personal income tax” to the needs of the Armed Forces, but the first attempt to adopt the project of amendments to the Budget Code failed.
During the discussion, CES experts will present an overview of the state of local finances and the impact of the proposed changes on community budgets.
