Almost 36% of tax revenues to the Consolidated budget of Ukraine were provided by trade and processing industry enterprises in January – February 2026. This was informed by acting Head of the State Tax Service Lesya Karnaukh on the Facebook page.
According to her, these industries remain key taxpayers and form a significant part of the state’s budget resources.
“The full-scale war has had a drastic impact on Ukraine’s economy. As a result of russian attacks, some industries have been destroyed, some – forced to relocate and many have had to change their logistics chains. Another challenge is constant russian attacks on the energy sector. Despite all the difficulties, business is making great efforts to adapt and sustainably replenish its budget” – Lesya Karnaukh emphasized.
Revenues from the following sectors:
- whole and retail sales; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles – 18.4%;
- processing industry – 17.4%.
Significant contribution is provided by:
- state administration and defense; obligatory social insurance – 12.9%;
- electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply – 6.1%.
Despite difficult conditions, a number of industries demonstrate a significant increase in payments.
Compared to the same period last year:
- processing industry increased tax payments by 14% (+6.8 billion UAH);
- whole and retail sales – by 9.6% (+5.1 billion UAH);
- state administration and defense – by 12.8% (+4.6 billion UAH);
- mining and quarrying – by 27.6% (+4 billion UAH).
“Behind each of these figures is colossal work and responsibility of Ukrainian producers, entrepreneurs and business. I am grateful to every payer, who provides resources for defense, support for the army, payments to the militaries, social stability and functioning of the state” – emphasized acting Head of the State Tax Service.
