The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, signed Laws No. 8196 and No. 8197, which amend the Customs and Tax Codes. These regulations introduce tax incentives for the import of Starlink generators and terminals, which should contribute to the restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the face of Russian aggression.
New laws introduce the possibility of importing generators, other equipment, Starlink terminals without payment of state duty and VAT, including for individuals. This norm will be valid for 6 months. In addition, technical assistance to the Energy Community regarding the import of equipment for the restoration of energy supply is exempt from customs duty and VAT.
In addition, other changes allow storage of up to 2,000 liters of fuel without a license. Everything that exceeds the established norm will need to be reported to the tax office on a declarative basis.
Laws No. 8196 and No. 819 were returned to the parliament with the President’s signature on December 29. They will enter into force 3 days after publication.
