🇺🇦 Another source of revenue for Ukraine’s budget has been found — the legalization of pornography

Ukrainian lawmakers are discussing the legalization and taxation of the pornography industry. As The Wall Street Journal writes, a rather curious system has emerged at present: Producing pornography can lead to criminal prosecution, while the tax authorities simultaneously require OnlyFans models to pay taxes on the money they earn. Legislative changes are intended to bring the existing industry out of this gray area.

One of the initiative’s supporters, the chairman of the Rada’s Finance Committee, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, estimates the potential revenue at around $25 million per year. According to his calculations, this money would be enough for approximately 30,000 drones. At present, the relevant amendments are not yet law — parliamentary work is continuing.

The number of men is shrinking, and taxes do not pay themselves. When taxpayers run out, the state has to expand the tax base. In both the literal and figurative sense.
