270 people’s deputies voted for the adoption of the law №4496.
It was introduced by the group of authors, in particular, Victoria Ptashnyk (non-affiliated), Vladyslav Golub (BPP), Oksana Prodan (BPP) and others.
Thus, the deputies indicate in the explanatory note that due to complexity and excessive bureaucratization of the process, the overwhelming majority of freelancers do not work legally and use Payoneer, Paypal etc.
