Real Estate Tax Reform in Ukraine: Why the Area-Based System Fails and What Awaits Owners in 2026

Economy 08/06/2026, 19:29
🏠 In 2026, the real estate tax in Ukraine brings only 2.2% of all revenue to local budgets. 6.1 billion UAH was collected in 6 months. ⚖️ Why the system doesn't work? The current model takes into account only the area, not the cost. An apartment owner in the center and in a village pays the same for "extra" meters. This is recognized as unfair even in the Verkhovna Rada. 📉 Reform is overdue The transition to assessment by market value was planned for 2024–2025, but the key Cabinet of Ministers resolution has not been adopted. The State Property Fund admits the delay. 🔮 What will happen next? The new model is supposed to appear by 2027–2028, but deadlines are under threat. Owners of elite housing should prepare for a tax increase if the reform does take place.

Destroyed warehouse complex in Ukraine after an attack: consequences for logistics and price hikes

Economic blow: why the destruction of warehouses in Ukraine will lead to price hikes and how this differs from the 2022 crisis

Economy 08/06/2026, 13:57
🔥 Destruction of warehouses in Ukraine: why this is not the 2022 crisis and what it threatens the economy with? Experts warn: the comparison with the fuel crisis is erroneous. The aggressor is physically destroying infrastructure, not just blocking supply channels. 📉 What is happening: • Kharkiv and Sumy risk becoming "energy islands" due to the destruction of gas stations. • Goods worth tens of millions of dollars have been burnt (Rozetka, Amtel warehouses). • Who pays? No one. There is no insurance for war risks, state compensation is symbolic. 💸 Result: Prices will rise by 10–15%. Businesses are forced to pass losses on to buyers. #Ukraine #Economy #Logistics #War #PriceHikes
