The economic passport of a Ukrainian is also Zelensky's electoral chip. And so, at the equator of the presidency, he remembered her again. In a recent message to the Verkhovna Rada.
The President submitted to parliament a package of bills on the creation of the Fund for Future Generations and the introduction of an economic passport of a Ukrainian. Their texts have not yet been released, but we managed to find out the main points.
& # 8212; Each child who was born since 2019 will receive his own account, and this account will account for the funds that are credited to this child annually from the rent on minerals mined in Ukraine.
That is, large part of the taxes for the use of Ukrainian subsoil will go not to the state budget, but to & # 8220; piggy banks & # 8221; small Ukrainians.
A large amount should be collected over 18 years.
Upon reaching the age of majority, everyone can close their account and receive money. But if he lived in Ukraine for the last 5 years before the payment. But you shouldn't rely on cash. The use of funds will be strictly regulated.
Many would like to divide the amount – part for study, part for housing, but this has not yet been provided. There is another discrepancy. The overwhelming majority of applicants in Ukraine are 17-year-olds. And they promise to pay only at 18. Therefore, education seems to drop out of the list.
So the deputies have something to work on in the process of adopting the law.
The system of redistribution of national wealth proposed by the president in favor of future generations is not really new. It has long been successfully used by the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf.
The recently adopted law 5600, which increases taxes for big business, should provide additional money.
However, the rent depends from world prices and can vary greatly from year to year. Therefore, the main thing is that there is enough money. Otherwise, you will either have to abandon a good idea, or choose between the present and the future.
If the idea of an economic passport can be implemented, Ukraine will actually become the first state in the world , who gave their citizens a guaranteed income, having a chronically deficit budget instead of fabulous reserves of black gold.
