ukraine oleksandr tkachenko finally confirmed that the lease in these premises for the uoc mp will not be extended, so from january 1 they will not be able to hold services there. this contract lasted from 2016 onwards the use of the property of the reserve will be decided by the commission with carols and a good mood of the espresso tv channel continues to help our fighters, the team has produced a new batch of vitamin warming mixture, the volunteer process has stalled. to a common cause this unites the team very much, and we think of those who are now at the front, those who are now unable to be there and want to be there

to help them at least with something, the director of the tv channel, kateryna yarmolovych, rallied the team for a charitable purpose, they had to vitamin mixtures for the ukrainian military, because the previous batch flew out quickly and the boys tasted it in about a week, well, at least some of our cats who we sent our goodies wrote or called and asked and when you can still get the recipe for the warming mixture, it was forced to change, but this did not affect its beneficial properties, this time we will make more cranberries and, unfortunately, we will not make sea buckthorn, but i think that cranberry is also a useful berry, so the guys should taste it like this. the television team divided the duties among themselves. someone cleans the ginger, other volunteers cut citrus fruits. and the third group is responsible for sorting the cranberry to clean ginger . you see we have such a

table for women. as the mice say and we manage to gossip, in particular, i work with cranberries and berries. first, we sort them so that they are all whole, beautiful, suitable for consumption, we clean them of unnecessary garbage, then we put them in a blender and we blend it to make it easier to deal with the burning acids, the ingredients of the espresso drink lift the spirit with a carol, so full, the light is sown, the world is sown, my colleagues who work behind the scenes also joined the process. rather, i came with my husband and son. we will always donate money whenever possible for our boys and keep them warm in such weather and on the eve of such holidays. i think this is a very good

idea. cleaned and chopped ingredients are volunteers. they are transferred to a blender, after which honey is added to the liquid consistency and packed in airtight containers, we can use them both for tea and simply in principle to consume them to make warm drinks. we try to take berries and various citrus fruits on request, such natural vitamins are also very necessary . l of the vitamin mixture, a new batch is sent to the front lines for various brigades, in particular to the donetsk direction. this is what i am telling you. see you at 11:00 a.m. and read more about important events on our espresso tv website because my colleagues work around the clock, as well as mine in social networks on youtube, telegram, instagram, twitter, subscribe to our channels, set your favorites, be there

putin called on all ukrainians, including the president of the countries that are still in the cis. formation and distributed rings to everyone, and one only in himself, and already a bunch of memes on the topic of a ring or a ring of sovereignty based on tolkien's motifs, remember there from lord of the dark tower, the main er lord of vlasovron so subordinated all these kings to him and they began to serve him and they became some kind of goals in our country and so on. well, who is aware of this story, and well. now it is clear why all this was done. the secretary of the security council of armenia, armen grigorian, stated that it was supposed to be russia, but it was not supposed to be. forced - forced armenia to join the union state with belarus and russia, what happened behind the scenes of all this action well, it is clear that after armenia, they

are also counting on driving everyone else into the soviet union again, but i think that for sure this time they will not succeed, they will not stop tags for you, you are the first. now you should be with us, i think everyone watched this movie in the kremlin, you know, there brezhnev, for example, really liked the movie, the taxi driver was dug up with a shovel, you know, so what? they saw these movies, and that's why it's not just that. they really imagine themselves there as some semi-mythical evil characters, sauron, the kremlin in mordor, it’s just from there yes, of course, from there well, gentlemen, let’s now talk seriously about the economy of communications and taras marshalok, doctor of economic sciences, analyst of the center for analysis of public finances, public administration of the kyiv school of economics, professor zoom. good day, gentlemen. greetings. today, we will start with what

we have three days left until the new year, counting this one, and from the new year, from january 1, all kinds of laws come into effect in us. economic truth made a good summary of what comes into force from january 1. hmm, well, in particular, if very briefly well, some taxes are changing. well , in general, in general, if you summarize what citizens and businesses expect from january 1, what is the new management? the first one to speak is surely and simply let me i'll start er, it means for next year that the approved budget is important, er, it means it comes into force

from january 1, it's a wartime budget that has a huge deficit, i won't pour numbers now, it's not perceived very well there, it's easy to hear well, what about without western aid in the form of grants and loans, we actually won't be able to survive next year as far as internal budget revenues are concerned. they, too, will melt somewhere around uh, since uh, the management of two factors, the first is the drop in the economy this year by about 33 %, a inflation is also quite high .

unimaginable taxes, some simplifications , some complications, and under the influence of the imf. it looks like ukraine will be forced to abandon these taxes from these changes, which came into effect in the summer and will take effect from july 1 next year. a large number of changes must take effect, i.e. return everything to the way it was before the beginning of the great invasion, and in the memorandum signed by the government with the imf, this is exactly what it says, for example, the abolition of the two-percent turnover tax, which was introduced instead of vat, as far as fops are concerned. well, here, small changes can be said to be related only with the fact that the minimum wage will be uah 6,700 for the whole year, it is not expected to increase until next year, because it is wartime, that is, in fact, despite the fact that there is high inflation

, the minimum wage remains the same in relation to pensioners, they promise indexation of pensions of about 5%, the exact figure will be known a little later, it is not a little, but what the state can now allocate for such well-off groups . it's a pity for them, the compensation is provided somewhere a little less than uah 2,000 per month. yes, it is also very little. it is very difficult to live on such money, but someone in you understands that the state is now at lunch and therefore shares only what it can definitely provide. what is the story here for fops, what is expected of them, how much is the business holding up in general, is it still, and what do you think, by the way, about the idea of ​​radically reducing some taxes? well, this

probably did not apply to fops, but in general for business on the other side and sober thoughts are probably voices that the opposite is true at this time. it is faster to say about increasing taxes for all groups. well, since these are exactly the funds that we can directly spend on financing the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, in contrast to many articles e- is help i am very grateful for this opportunity, and i agree with mr. taras who says that as a result of the signing of the memorandum with the imf, we must somehow return to the kind of tax system we had before war and in fact these are the innovations that were introduced in march, the reduction of the single tax rate or the introduction of one more group of single tax payers at the

rate of 2%. they have already played their role here, you can consider it as positive or negative, but we had to accept that there is and in fact this tax has already exhausted itself and i think that most likely it will be canceled from the second month of july of the 23rd year, also as for what we should expect in the 23rd year, here panteres has also already mentioned that something is changing not by ourselves conditions and not the approaches themselves regarding the taxation of individual entrepreneurs or legal entities that are in the third group of the unified tax. and these changes occur only due to the fact that in 2023 we will have a change in the minimum wage relative to which to calculate the single tax, well, in fact, from october 1, we already have a

minimum wage of 6,700 hryvnias on december 4, which will remain in the 23rd year. but if we are talking about the 22nd year, then the single tax was calculated in relation to the minimum wage that was in effect on january 1, 2022, and on that date , we had a minimum wage of uah 6,500, so in the 23rd year, we will already start from the wage of uah 6,000, 700 if we are talking about the first, second, third group, what for them well, the first thing that will change is the turnover that will allow us to be in one or another group of the single tax, if we are talking about the first group, then there is the amount of minimum wages established according to the tax code 167, that is, within the limits of these incomes or within the limits of this, then we must carry out our activities and if we are talking about the 23rd year, then this amount will be 1 million 118,900 hryvnias, if we

are talking about the second group, then the amount of 834 minimum wages established on the first of january has already been determined, and it will be 5.5 almost 5 6 5 million six hundred thousand hryvnias and for the third group, we have a turnover that should not exceed 7 million 818 e 1900 hryvnias. these are the main features that indicate that what is not significant because the minimum wage has increased by only 200 hryvnias and that is why the turnover within which they have the opportunity to describe their activities or to another group, if we are talking about the tax rates themselves or the amount of the tax liability for such groups of single tax payers, has also increased, we must also understand that they have increased somewhat. well, let's say for the first group, the rate or the maximum amount of the tax

liability per month is 10% of the subsistence minimum for an able-bodied person , and it has also increased slightly by uah 200. if on january 1, 22, it was uah 2,481, then on this at the moment, we have in the budget the amount or amount of the subsistence minimum of uah 2,684, so the monthly payment for the single tax has also increased a little bit and it will be set at uah 268, 40 kopecks for the second group. it is also the fact that the minimum or maximum amount has increased. of the tax liability, and there, according to the tax code, the amount of the single tax is 20% of the minimum wage, set for the first si

. objectively, almost nothing has changed for this group for the third group, because there the interest is applied from this interest rate of the tax liability to the income of the payer of the single tax and they amount to 3% or 5%. depending on which one type of e-e taxation is chosen by such a subject of business activity, whether with or without payment of vat. well, we also know and understand for sure that in addition to the single tax, taxpayers must pay social security contributions, in particular, they must pay a single social contribution for themselves, which is 22% of the minimum wage established for one or another period of the year, and it will amount to uah 1,470.4 per

month. march months that on today i think that in the future and in the 23rd year, although i do not completely agree with this somewhere as objectively, so that the subjects of entrepreneurial activity are the first and second group of single taxpayers of a single tax they have the opportunity not to pay a single tax and have the opportunity not to pay the euv for themselves, but in the objective conditions in which ukraine found itself, every penny and every hryvnia that goes to the local or state budget or to the pension fund or to other social insurance funds helps and brings our victory closer, because we understand and know that our defense expenses are financed directly from the funds, not directly from the taxpayers, that is , our valiant armed forces are financed, our

army, which is relentlessly and so powerfully wets the pride that came to our thank you, thank you, very thoroughly explained all the changes that concern fops i hope they didn’t miss this deadline or look at the record . what will happen next year, will there still be growth after the fall, in your opinion, and on the other hand, what is happening in the russians, they fell by 8%, less than they hoped, but i understand that they will continue to fall next year too. very briefly, i'll correct it a little , so a-a means er-e from well, first about us, about ukraine, and we fell on, well

, the definition. it is difficult to keep records, but our department of state statistics is trying even in non-occupied territories, gdp is calculated in a strange way, for example, where for many it is interesting that the occupied kherson region had a lower gdp than the mykolaiv region, which was not under occupation for the most part, well , that is, there are such interesting statistical data, uh, but it is to the point that it is very difficult calculate , especially in the current year, how many gdp drops there are in us, somewhere 30 - 35%, we hope that in this volume it is a lot , it is a lot, because a drop of 3-5% is already considered a significant deterioration equal to life and when we talk about 33 35%, this is a catastrophic fall, it is clear that the state becomes unsustainable without foreign

aid, or if it is lost, the national bank starts printing secured currency, so far, we keep to such a fast balance in the national bank, but within some limits what allows us to see from the price tags of exchangers that they do not grow much as for next year, again the first factor is the war, the duration of the war, shelling, the destruction of infrastructure and so on, that is, now the forecasts are like fingers in the sky you know it is very difficult to predict anything here. as for russia, the situation is unfortunately not as bad as expected. let me remind you that in the spring it was expected that the gdp in russia would fall by 10-15 %. today, in fact, we have... a drop of about 2.5%
