Revenues from excise tax on manufactured and imported goods in January-May 2025 reached UAH 69.7 billion, compared to UAH 46.9 billion in the same period last year, according to Ruslan Kravchenko, head of the State Tax Service (STS).
“In five months, the budget has already received UAH 11.3 billion (+19.3%) more than planned. In May 2025, UAH 15.3 billion in excise tax was received,” he said.
Kravchenko explained that the overperformance was due to an increase in imports of excisable goods, in particular tobacco products.
“Systematic control over the circulation of excisable goods is also yielding noticeable results,” added the head of the State Tax Service.
