Ukraine's Constitutional Court rules it's wrong to tax pensions

The Constitutional Court of Ukraine (CCU) has ruled that the taxation of pensions in Ukraine is unconstitutional. "The Constitutional Court of Ukraine has ruled to recognize the provision in subparagraph 164.2.19 of paragraph 164.2 of Article 164 of the Tax Code of Ukraine, which stipulates that the total monthly (annual) taxable income of the taxpayer includes the amounts of pensions (including the amount of their indexation accrued in accordance with the law) or a monthly lifetime allowance, is not in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine," the court reported on its website.
