According to subparagraph "a" of subparagraph 165.1.1 of clause 165.1 of article 165 of the Tax Code of Ukraine, the total monthly (annual) taxable income of the taxpayer does not include the amount of monetary assistance provided in accordance with the law, decrees of the President of Ukraine and acts of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to members of families of military personnel .
Thus, the amount of one-time cash assistance provided to family members of military personnel is not subject to tax.
