Ukraine has asked the EU to allow displaced businesses to pay taxes in Ukraine.

 Minister of Social Policy Maryna Lazebna proposed to the members of the European Parliament to allow Ukrainians and Ukrainian companies to relocate to the EU and keep paying taxes in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Minister discussed with Dragosh Pislaru, Chairman of the Committee of the European Parliament, the possibility of EU-level legislation to provide for the preservation of tax residency by Ukrainians who have moved to EU countries and businesses that have relocated from Ukraine. Pislaru noted that “Taxation is regulated primarily by the national legislation of the EU member states” and acknowledged that the voiced proposals make sense. According to Lazebna, “He assured me that he would start relevant discussions in the European Parliament and the European Commission with colleagues involved in solving such issues.”
