#Tax Revenue

In January–September 2026, Metinvest paid UAH 13 billion in taxes, down 6% year-on-year. The company attributes the decline to six ballistic missile attacks on plants, the blockade of Black Sea ports, and reduced EU quotas on Ukrainian steel.

Hetmantsev: budget missed 3.8 billion UAH in tobacco excise in October 2026. According to Kantar, annual losses from illegal cigarettes reached a record 36.4 billion UAH.

Over the first seven months of 2026, local budgets in Ukraine received approximately 29 billion hryvnias in land tax, a 13% increase over the previous year. The leaders were Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (5.3 billion UAH), Kyiv (4 billion UAH), Odesa Oblast (2.5 billion UAH), and Lviv Oblast (2.1 billion UAH).

The share of local taxes in community budgets has fallen from 27% to 22–23% over 5 years — land fees have dropped especially sharply. Parliamentary committee head Yelena Shulyak attributes this to the war and technical gaps in registers. But there is hope: property tax is growing — meaning there is potential! 💰🏘️ #localbudgets #Ukraine #taxes
