The goals are already indicated in the names of the laws. The main one - №1539-IX - is called "On amendments to the Tax Code and other laws of Ukraine to stimulate the de-shadowing of incomes and increase the tax culture of citizens by introducing one-time (special) voluntary declaration of assets belonging to them and payment of a one-time fee to the budget" . Other laws in the package make related changes to the Budget Code, the Code of Administrative Offenses, the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Law on Currency and Currency Transactions.
In fact, the "tax amnesty" is that citizens are allowed to declare their property, valuables, savings in cash. And the state guarantees that the tax authorities will not be interested in whether or not taxes on these incomes have been paid before. But even if the taxes have been paid before, but you can not prove it - at the time of declaration will need to pay a few percent tax.
According to statistics, about every second Ukrainian can be considered poor. And most of us will probably decide that the tax amnesty does not affect us in any way. But the rules of law are written in such a way that many of the "poor" may eventually be considered "rich" and their property "acquired illegally." And if it is not declared in the next year, after the amnesty, unpleasant sanctions may be applied. Therefore, we recommend at least getting acquainted with who and what is proposed to declare.
