In January-February, almost 36% of tax revenues to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine were provided by enterprises of trade and processing industry. This was reported by the Acting Head of the State Tax Service Lesya Karnaukh on her 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 dramatic impact on the economy of Ukraine. As a result of Russian attacks, some industries were destroyed, some were forced to relocate, many had to change their logistics chains. Another challenge is the constant attacks of the Russians on the energy sector. Despite all the difficulties, business is making a lot of efforts to adapt and stably replenish the budget,” Lesya Karnaukh emphasized.
Revenues from the following sectors:
– Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles – 18.4%;
– Processing industry – 17.4%.
A significant contribution is provided by:
– Public administration and defense; compulsory social insurance – 12.9%;
– Supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning – 6.1%.
Despite the difficult conditions, a number of sectors demonstrate a significant increase in payments.
Compared to the same period last year:
– Processing industry increased tax payments by 14% (+6.8 billion UAH);
– Wholesale and retail trade – by 9.6% (+5.1 billion UAH);
– Public 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 the enormous work and responsibility of Ukrainian manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and businesses. And I am grateful to every payer who provides resources for defense, support for the army, payments to the military, social stability, and the functioning of the state,” the head of the State Tax Service emphasized.
