Work of the State Tax Service resulted in a 40% reduction in the number of entrepreneurs who declare understated revenues

State Tax Service of Ukraine recorded a 40% reduction in the number of enterprises that declare low revenues. Specialists of the State Tax Service carried out preventive and control measures regarding business entities with a discrepancy between declared revenues and actual expenses. 

According to the analysis results, in the first quarter of 2025, more than 10 thousand business entities were identified whose revenues were lower than the minimum costs necessary to maintain retail outlets and pay staff.

Information about such payers was transferred to territorial bodies of the State Tax Service for clarification, control and verification work. The goal is to ensure completeness of settlements through the registrars of settlement operations and fiscalization of all operations.

Already in the second quarter, positive dynamics were recorded – number of entrepreneurs who declare low revenues decreased by 40% to about 6 thousand. At the same time, 1.3 thousand taxpayers were again identified as having such risk, therefore information about them was transferred for additional analysis and response.

It should be emphasized that: the State Tax Service carries out tax control exclusively taking into account risk-based approach and only in cases where there are signs of high risks. All actions are carried out according to decision of the National Security and Defense Council, which introduced legal and organizational measures regarding moratorium on groundless audits and unjustified interference in work of the business entities.
