Getmantsev calls for delaying POS terminals for sole proprietors of the first group

Sole proprietors of the first group may receive a deferment from mandatory payment terminals at least until the end of the war. With such appeal to the government, the head of the committee on finance, taxation, and customs policy, Danilo Getmantsev, spoke out.

Getmantsev proposes to postpone POS terminals for sole proprietors of the first group

According to the current plan, the requirement for terminals was set to take effect from January 1, 2026. However, Getmantsev emphasizes that the first group entrepreneurs work without hired employees, have limited types of activities, and minimal incomes. Additional fines ranging from 8.5 to 17 thousand hryvnias for the absence of a terminal will only increase their financial pressure. Representatives of this group are already exempt from using cash registers and simplified cash registers, so expanding requirements seems unreasonable during wartime.

Getmantsev heads one of the most influential parliamentary committees, which significantly strengthens the weight of his statements. In the business community, he is long known as the author of complex tax initiatives and a figure that has sparked discussions among small businesses. Recently, his activity has become broader: he engages in social programs, topics of internally displaced persons, support for frontline regions, and interaction with local communities and businesses.

POS terminals for sole proprietors: the political context surrounding the initiative

According to media reports, a team is forming around Getmantsev that could be transformed into a political force with a leftist tilt and a focus on social support. Protecting the interests of small entrepreneurs is part of this strategy. Against this backdrop, the government is forced to respond to his initiatives, although more often it resembles political competition. The cabinet either adopts his ideas or launches its own projects in the same direction.
