Discussion of a tax on parcels from China in the “Chat 18”
Journalist Yevhen Plinsky reported on a closed chat where 18 CEOs and owners of Ukrainian non-food retail discuss matters.
Participants of the “Chat 18” are discussing the introduction of VAT on parcels from 1 January 2027 and the media promotion of this initiative. The main goal is to complicate delivery of goods from Chinese marketplaces, not to increase tax revenues.
It is expected that administration of the tax will fall to customs and postal operators, which may lead to delays and accumulation of parcels. Consumers will have to choose between more complicated ordering from China or buying a similar product in Ukraine at a higher price.
