- Ukraine’s parliament failed again to pass bills ending the VAT exemption for international parcels valued up to €150.
- The reform would have imposed 20% VAT on foreign e-commerce purchases from the first euro, with marketplaces collecting the tax at checkout.
- It was intended to align with EU rules and raise about UAH 10 billion per year.
- The measure was also tied to unlocking $0.7 billion in IMF funds and a €3.7 billion EU aid tranche.
- Both bills fell short of the 226-vote threshold and were sent back for revision; if approved later, implementation would start no earlier than January 1, 2027.
