Companies in Poltava region have highest average tax debt among Ukraine’s regions

10 September , 2026  

As of July 1, 2026, the Poltava region ranked first in Ukraine in terms of the average amount of tax debt per debtor company.

According to data from the State Tax Service cited by Opendatabot, the average tax debt per company in Poltava Oblast is approximately 2.78 million UAH.

Kirovohrad Oblast ranks second in this metric, with an average of about 2.2 million UAH per company in debt.

These figures significantly exceed the national average. In total, 218,731 companies owe the state 263.32 billion UAH, meaning the average debt is approximately 1.2 million UAH per company.

However, the largest number of debtors and the largest absolute amount of debt are concentrated not in the Poltava region, but in Kyiv. There are 58,056 debtor companies registered in the capital, with a combined debt of 96.06 billion UAH.

Thus, regional statistics reveal a significant difference between the number of debtors and the size of the debt: Kyiv dominates in terms of absolute figures, while Poltava Oblast leads in terms of the average debt per company.
