Changes to Booking of Conscripts’ Procedure Entered into Force

On 22.07.2023, Resolution No. 743 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 11.07.2023 came into force, amending the Procedure for booking conscripts and Criteria for determining enterprises, institutions and organizations that are critically important.

In particular, the introduced changes set a clear deadline for consideration by state bodies of applications from enterprises, institutions and organizations regarding their determination as critically important – within a period of no more than 10 working days from the date of receipt of such application.

Also, the approved changes provide for the following:

  • from now on, the sums of the paid single social contribution will be taken into account to the criterion of the total sum of taxes, fees, and payments paid by the enterprise;
  • enterprises of veterinary medicine, government enterprises, etc. can be recognized as critically important if they meet two or more criteria.

Let us please remind you that to be recognized as critically important, enterprises must meet three or more criteria out of seven. Among such criteria, in particular: the amount of paid taxes and fees; the absence of arrears for the payment of single social contribution; the importance for the branch of the national economy or meeting the needs of the territorial community, etc.

Herewith, enterprises, institutions and organizations of certain industries and spheres (for example, enterprises of the fuel and energy complex) need to meet two or more criteria to receive the status of critically important.

Obtaining the status of “critically important” by an enterprise gives the opportunity to book employees of such an enterprise.
