The Cabinet of Ministers exempted from VAT and import duty spare parts and components for the manufacture of electric generators, as well as Starlink satellite Internet equipment.

This is reported by the Government Portal.

Components for the manufacture of energy equipment, water purification products and satellite communication devices for the Internet (Starlink) were included in the tax incentives.

"Initially, the Government exempted the import of generators and energy equipment from customs duties and VAT. This decision makes such products cheaper by approximately 25%. So that Ukrainian manufacturers who assemble such products in Ukraine do not find themselves in a disadvantageous position, the Government additionally exempted spare parts for assembling generators and energy equipment from VAT and customs duties. Thus, products manufactured on the domestic market will become about a quarter cheaper," explained Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Denys Kudin.

According to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, the government is negotiating the possibility of purchasing a new large batch of thousands of Starlink systems for "Points of Invincibility".

"Today, we approved the necessary documents so that Starlinks can be imported into Ukraine without duty and VAT. This will reduce their cost and make it possible to provide them to as many people and organizations as possible," he said.

We will remind that the Starlink satellite Internet provider of the American company SpaceX has increased the cost of services for Ukrainians.

Earlier, the Ministry of Economy explained whether there will be a shortage of fuel in Ukraine due to the use of generators.

It was also reported that two families, including a 4-year-old child, suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning in the Kyiv region.

Another man died.
