“Regarding military personal income tax. My colleague Halyna Vasylchenko asked the Ministry of Finance what is planned there for 2024. The answer of the Ministry of Finance: it is planned that all 100% of personal income tax on military salaries will go to the special fund of the State Budget and go to defense needs,” the MP wrote on Telegram on Monday.
