In its attempt to cover budget holes, the government has taken aim at people’s pockets and the domestic manufacturer’s.
The financial pyramid, built by the government to save the budget, demands more and more sacrifice, and the government makes no delays in making them; they will not have to pay. A bill has been proposed according to which excises on spirit alcohol, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, etc., will be raised.
Which will most definitely raise prices, making high-quality and legally manufactured alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages almost unavailable to people. Smuggling and shadow distilleries will be boosted and another sector of the economy will be ruined. The government is ready. According to UNIAN, the Cabinet of Ministers proposes the monetary privatization of enterprises and workshops, which will enable underground alcohol manufacturers to launder the money they make on the Prohibition. The draft project has been transferred to Parliament.
According to the deputy head of the Accounting Council Vitaly Melnychuk, the new excise rate increase will most definitely lead to cuts in budget income on the basis of serious research.
