"Google Tax" brought more than 14.4 billion UAH to the budget in 2025. These are funds paid by the non-residents who supply electronic services to individuals in the customs territory of Ukraine and are registered as the VAT payers. This was informed by acting Head of the State Tax Service Lesya Karnaukh on the Facebook page.

Particularly:

- 150.1 million Euros,

- 177.4 million US dollars.

The major taxpayers remain the world's leading digital companies: Apple, Google, Valve, Meta, Sony, Etsy and Netflix.

“This is about transparency and fair rules for Ukrainian and international business. Digital services market continues to grow” – she added.

The circle of payers is expanding:

- 12 new non-residents registered as the VAT payers in 2025,

- 5 more companies since the beginning of 2026,

- in total, there are already 150 non-residents in Ukraine – the VAT payers in the electronic services sphere.

“All electronic services that we use every day work for the country's budget. These are funds for the country's defense, social programs and recovery” – Lesya Karnaukh emphasized.

There is a reminder: obligation to register as the VAT payer for the non-residents arises if volume of electronic services supplied in Ukraine during the last 12 months exceeds equivalent of 1 million UAH.
