Lower house set to approve bill on tax deductions relating to Ukraine

Czech MPs look set to approve a tax bill that would provide deductions for helping Ukraine during a third reading on Friday. The legislation, which was discussed in the lower house on Wednesday, should make it possible to deduct donations made directly to Ukraine in support of its defence efforts and to NGOs in the country.

The minister of finance, Zbyněk Stanjura, said that conditions for tax deductions were being expanded in response to Russian president Putin’s war on Ukraine.
