In 2025, Ukraine’s military tax revenues increased fourfold
During the first ten months of 2025, Ukrainians transferred UAH 131.7 billion to the state budget as military tax, which is almost four times higher than last year’s figures.
The State Tax Service of Ukraine reported that compared to the same period last year, when revenues amounted to UAH 36.6 billion, the total volume increased by UAH 95.1 billion. The largest contributions were made by taxpayers of Kyiv city (UAH 42.4 billion), Dnipropetrovsk region (UAH 14.8 billion), and Lviv region (UAH 10.2 billion). Kharkiv region also played an important role, directing UAH 8.3 billion to the budget.
The Tax Service emphasized that increased revenues are observed in all regions of the country, indicating high tax discipline and support for the state’s defense capability amidst military actions. Among the main reasons for the significant growth are the increase in the military tax rate to 5%, which came into effect on December 1, 2024, the growth of the wage fund and official employment of citizens, as well as the enhancement of tax culture, especially among entrepreneurs and the self-employed.
It should be recalled that the increase in the military tax rate became part of the new mandatory tax changes approved by the Verkhovna Rada in a draft law that also includes a 50% profit tax on banks.
