Revenues from the sale of alcoholic beverages in Ukraine in February 2025 amounted to UAH 11 billion, which is UAH 1 billion (8%) less than in January 2025 and UAH 5.5 billion (33%) less than in December 2024,
Danylo Hetmantsev, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, said on his Telegram channel.
He noted that the number of licenses issued in the first two months of this year increased by 18,435 units compared to December 2024.
At the same time, the average amount of revenue per license in February 2025 is UAH 106.8 thousand, which is UAH 8 thousand (7%) less than in January 2025 and UAH 88.3 thousand (45%) less than in December 2024.
“As you can see, the trade in alcoholic beverages shows a similar trend to the trade in another excisable good – tobacco products. We are tracking the reasons for such dynamics,” the head of the parliamentary committee summarized.
As reported, Hetmantsev drew the attention of law enforcement agencies to the reduction in February 2025 in revenue from the sale of tobacco products to UAH 9.6 billion, which is 8% (UAH 0.8 billion) less than the previous month. At the same time, the number of valid licenses for the retail sale of tobacco products increased by 12488 units in the first two months of the year and reached 75613.
