Actual revenues to the general fund of the state budget from taxes and fees controlled by the State Tax Service of Ukraine (STS) amounted to UAH 1 trillion 246 billion in January-December 2025, which is 20.2% or UAH 209.3 billion more than last year, according to a publication on the institution’s website.
According to the STS, despite an increase in planned indicators during the year by more than UAH 100 billion, the annual revenue plan was fulfilled by 97.4%.
According to the acting head of the State Tax Service, Lesya Karnaukh, quoted in the report, the stable over-fulfillment of targets during the first half of the year created the necessary financial reserve, which made it possible to avoid significant shortfalls at the end of the year.
It is noted that in the structure of the main sources of budget revenues for the 12 months of 2025, the largest share was provided by personal income tax and fees, which amounted to UAH 362.9 billion. Value added tax (including budget refunds) brought UAH 306.5 billion to the budget, and corporate income tax brought UAH 284.7 billion. In addition, excise tax revenues amounted to UAH 163.9 billion, while rent payments provided UAH 48.4 billion.
Karnaukh separately highlighted the dynamics of VAT budget refunds, which totaled UAH 179.6 billion for the year. At the same time, the monthly refund rate during the year was not less than UAH 13 billion.
“Today, businesses have to reorient significant financial resources and invest in recovery and relocation. I am grateful to everyone who does not give up,” said the acting head of the State Tax Service.
She also added that the achievement of these indicators in the context of war, shelling, and energy challenges is the result of the responsibility of each taxpayer.
