There are things on which the country’s stability depends no less than on the ability to maintain defense. Proper payment of taxes is something without which the country will also not survive.

According to results of January – June 2026, the biggest increase in revenues came from the:

“Today, every UAH of taxes has a special meaning for the country. The fact that big business, even in the wartime, works, develops and increases tax payments speaks of its responsibility and faith in the future of Ukraine. Task of the State Tax Service is to be close to the taxpayers: to help find solutions, simplify interaction and build relationships based on trust and partnership. This is how we can achieve results together” – Lesya Karnaukh added.
