Ukraine Mulls Legalizing Home Moonshine Distilling
Initiated by the Servant of the People faction.
A group of Servant of the People faction MPs registered a bill to repeal administrative liability for home distilling of moonshine. Bill No. 2371 has already appeared on the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine website, but without text.
The initiators of the draft law “On Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences (regarding the repeal of the legal norm providing for liability for home distilling of moonshine)” are People's Deputies of the Servant of the People faction Volodymyr Vatras, Oleksandr Fedienko, Roman Sokha, Anatoliy Kostiuk, Ihor Friz and Mykola Stefanchuk.
Under Article 176 of the Code of Administrative Offences, producing moonshine without intent to sell is punishable by a fine of 3 to 10 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens (51-170 UAH).
Earlier, People's Deputies had already voted for a bill that would have allowed home distilling of moonshine without intent to sell. In 2012, the initiators of such a bill were deputies from the Party of Regions.
