“eSadok” without deductions: what the new bill proposes
24 April 20:09
The government is proposing to change the tax rules for social benefits paid to families with children. The new bill stipulates that the “eSadok” subsidy will not be included in taxable income.
This was announced by government representative in the Verkhovna Rada Taras Melnychuk, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
The Cabinet of Ministers has already submitted the initiative to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
If the law is passed, monthly “eSadok” payments will not be subject to personal income tax. This means that families will receive this money in full, without deductions.
This support is intended for the period before the child’s birth, after childbirth, and during childcare.

The goal of the changes is to help parents balance work and raising children
The government explains that the goal of the changes is to help parents balance work and raising children. In fact, this is an attempt to make social support more tangible and practical.
It is also part of a broader family support policy that the state is gradually expanding.
“The bill aims to create conditions for balancing parenthood with employment by providing state support to families with children in the form of a monthly cash payment called ‘eSadok’ and ensuring that such payments are not included in the taxpayer’s taxable income during the prenatal, postpartum period, and the period of caring for the child after birth,” Melnichuk writes.
Currently, tax rules may reduce the actual amount of assistance, as some payments are counted as income. The proposed changes are intended to correct this.
The “eSadok” program itself has already been enshrined in law. It provides, in particular, for payments of approximately 8,000 hryvnias for child care, which are funded from local budgets.
