Ukraine revises capacity calculation rules for ethanol, bioethanol plants
Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has amended the procedure for determining the maximum capacity of equipment used to produce ethyl alcohol and bioethanol, including by providing for the actual capacity of the equipment to be taken into account in the relevant calculation.
Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has revised the rules for calculating the maximum capacity of ethanol and bioethanol production equipment. The decision was made on September 23, according to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food's press service. The updated procedure takes into account the actual capacity of the equipment, rather than just its maximum potential.
The changes clarify what constitutes a change in maximum capacity and establish a mechanism for calculating the new capacity. Additionally, the procedure allows for a deviation of up to 3% between actual capacity and maximum potential, based on the unique aspects of each production process and the limitations of measuring instruments.
The government also addressed the impact of equipment washing and disinfection on the calculation. These maintenance operations can be performed during scheduled production downtime, and the procedure clarifies how to account for these activities when determining tax liability for excise duty on ethanol and bioethanol products.
