Increase in taxes will help the army: Getmantsev explained how it will work

Increasing military levy and VAT is able to quickly fill the budget as all taxpayers. To improve the financing of the army, it is necessary to increase not only the military levy, but also VAT. This was reported by the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Danilo Getmantsev at the Business and War Forum, Interfax reports. Getmantsev noted that only these two significant taxes can quickly replenish the budget because they affect all taxpayers.

"When the state comes to people and says: I miss the army so much, please let each of us go down on this holy purpose, and we need quickly, there are only two answers for today - a military gathering and VAT", " He said. He also believes that the introduction of luxury taxes is ineffective, since compiling a comprehensive list of luxury items is always a difficult task. In addition, he pointed to criticism concerning the rates offered on certain goods.

In his view, the third argument against these taxes is their limited impact on the budget. "We get a fairly large group of dissatisfied and fiscal effect of three to four billion from the introduction of any of these types of taxes," Getmantsev notes. Therefore, the Chairman of the Committee believes that raising military fees and VAT is a fair decision.
