The Cabinet of Ministers has registered a draft law in the Verkhovna Rada concerning the regulation of tax debt for the supplier of "last resort" (registration No. 1240).
This was reported by the government representative in the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnychuk.
The draft law is designed to address the tax debt of the State Enterprise for foreign economic activity "Ukrinterenergo." This debt arose during the company's role as a "last resort" supplier in the electricity market.
The bill proposes to temporarily establish a separate procedure for the distribution of funds from the account of the "last resort" supplier, which has a special usage regime, until December 31, 2028.
According to this procedure, 10% of the funds received from buyers will be transferred to a non-budget account of this supplier, opened with the State Treasury Service of Ukraine. These funds are intended to be used for settling the tax debt and paying the value-added tax that arises during such settlement.
The remaining funds will be directed to a special account of the electricity transmission system operator. This is necessary to fully settle the underpayment for the electricity imbalance purchased by the "last resort" supplier.
Background. Earlier, Mind reported that a resolution was registered in the Rada concerning the dismissal of Energy Minister Halushchenko. Among the reasons for this step are "systemic corruption in the energy sector," as well as the minister's disregard for summonses to meetings of the parliament and its committees.
