Ukraine needs to approve parcel tax to keep IMF funding

Ukraine needs to adopt a law introducing a value-added tax on inexpensive parcels from abroad to ensure its $8.1 billion ‌programme with the International Monetary Fund - due for review in June - remains on track, a source close to discussions said.

Kyiv depends on international aid to cover its budgetary needs and fund a war with Russia. Most of the multi-year funding programs are conditional on Ukraine proceeding with governance reforms and changes to its fiscal legislation.
