According to the governmental agenda, today the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers will consider the issue of the collection of 20% VAT on natural gas, imported into the country, as a result of which the price of gas from Russia will grow to $600 per 1 thousand cubic meters.
The government proposes to levy the tax on natural gas, supplied under contracts with non-state companies from May, 1st. In case of approval by the Cabinet, the draft law will be in the country’s Supreme Rada this week already.
