Ukraine’s parliament passed a bill on June 3 that imposes additional taxes on foreign companies like Apple, Netflix, Amazon and Facebook, according to Danil Getmantsev, head of the parliament’s committee on finance, taxation and customs policy.
The bill said that foreign tech companies that are not registered in Ukraine will pay a 20% value-added tax, or VAT, for digital services they provide to local users. The bill targets content like images, photos, electronic books, magazines, games and foreign TV channels. Among other services are gambling, online advertising, data storage, and the supply of software.
