The White Business Club: How to enter the list of conscientious taxpayers and receive tax preferences

Economy 08/13/2026, 00:57
🇺🇦 **White Business Club: new rules of the game in 2026** The Ukrainian Tax Service has moved to a new control model: now not only the absence of violations is assessed, but also the behavior of the business as a whole. You can get on the list of conscientious taxpayers (LCT) automatically if the company's indicators are higher than the industry average. 📉 **What does the status give?** ✅ Fewer tax inspections. ✅ Fast VAT refund (critical for exporters). ✅ Personal compliance manager from the STS. ✅ Early warning about risks. ⚠️ **Important:** The status does not provide tax holidays and does not automatically write off debts. The presence of arrears, as a rule, blocks entry to the list. #Taxes #BusinessUkraine #VAT #STS
