Several interlocutors of RBC-Ukraine, who are familiar with the decision-making process on reservations, confirm that the authorities have not abandoned the idea of ”economic reservation.” They are confident that this initiative will continue, perhaps at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Everything will depend on the pace of mobilization and the situation at the front.
In addition, one of the options for “economic armor” it can be extended every month upon payment of the appropriate tax level (in the first place we will talk about personal income tax).
“Back this summer, the concept of ‘fight or work’ was announced by both the president and the head of government. Nothing has changed since then, that is, there is a political decision mobilization, because the enemy is pushing at the front How do you imagine telling the mobilized now that a decision has been made to make a reservation, where the criteria are wages or taxes paid?”, noted the interlocutor.
At the same time, the “economic reservation” initiative, according to the source, can be implemented both by law and by government regulation. But so far, the authorities are inclined to believe that this standard should still be passed through the Riksdag hall.
There are legislative initiatives, they are registered in the parliament, but there has not yet been a vote even in the first reading. Although, of course, in informal communication, people’s representatives discuss the advisability of passing a law that would allow economic reservations.
“Today I cannot say that there is an understanding that the majority in the parliament will vote for the discussions are still ongoing, there are initiatives, but the issue has not yet gone beyond registration,” Fyodor Venislavsky added.
