The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has proposed that the Ukrainian Finance Ministry reduces income tax rate on individual deposits from 20% currently in force to 15%, NBU Governor Valeria Gontareva said during a meeting with members of the American Chamber of Commerce.
According to her, last year's decision to introduce a 20% rate on the mentioned tax was unexpected for the regulator.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the amount of bank deposits in the Ukrainian hryvnia grew by 3.4% in January-September, to UAH 367.7 billion, according to the NBU.
Bank deposits in the hryvnia expanded by 0.5% January through September 2015, while those in foreign currency shrank by 22.2%.
