State-owned enterprise (SOE) Ukrspyrt has relaxed the rules of buying spirit for the volume of up to 1,000 liters a quarter, and the rules will be in effect from March 20 until June 30.
“Almost everyone needs alcohol! Therefore, given the coronavirus disease COVID-19 pandemic and the increased demand for alcohol, we have simplified the process of its sale. The buyer needs to take three steps: conclude an agreement (simplified, we have one signatory), pay and come to get the products. The rules work, if you do not need more than 1,000 liters per quarter,” acting Director General of Ukrspyrt Serhiy Bleskun wrote on his page on the social network Facebook.
He said that alcohol can be bought by private entrepreneurs or legal entities. The rule is valid until June 30. Price for 1 liter is UAH 184 (inclusive of excise tax and VAT).
The press service of Ukrspyrt told Interfax-Ukraine that the number of signatories under a contract from a state-owned enterprise was reduced from nine to one, and the number of required documents from a buyer was reduced from nine to four.
As reported, Ukrspyrt suspended the shipment of alcohol for export and put four more distilleries into operation due to the increased demand for medical alcohol in Ukraine over the spread of COVID-19.
