Tourist tax continues to demonstrate confident growth dynamics in 2026. In January – February of this year, more than 5 thousand payers transferred 72.5 million UAH to the budgets. This is 25% more than the last year (58 million UAH).

The biggest revenues were traditionally provided by regions that are attractive to tourists. The leader was Kyiv city – 16.2 million UAH. Significant amounts also came from:

- Lviv region – 15 million UAH,

- Ivano-Frankivsk region – 11.8 million UAH,

- Trans-Carpathian region – 5.9 million UAH.

Tourist tax is important funding source for local budgets. Due to these funds, communities have opportunity to develop infrastructure, improve tourist locations, support hospitality sector and create comfortable conditions for both guests and residents.

Tourist tax payers are citizens of Ukraine, foreigners and stateless persons who are temporarily accommodated in the residence places (hotels, estates, etc.). At the same time, tax agents are business entities that provide temporary accommodation services – they are the ones who accrue and transfer tax to the budget.

Growth of the tourist tax revenues is about the responsibility of business and citizens who contribute to recovery and development of Ukraine.
