Nearly 60% of all State Statistics Service rulings for violations of statistical reporting requirements issued in Ukraine between 2020 and 2025 were issued in 2021 alone. According to Opendatabot, 136 of the 228 rulings—or 59.6% of the total for the six-year period—were issued in 2021.
The trend is as follows: in 2020, the State Statistics Service issued 41 rulings; in 2021, 136; and in 2022, 21. There were none at all in 2023 and 2024, while in 2025 the number rose to 30.
In monetary terms, the peak also occurred in 2021. That year, fines totaling 21,777 UAH were imposed, compared to 7,140 UAH in 2020, 4,845 UAH in 2022, and 5,100 UAH in 2025.
The sharp change after 2022 is due to the relaxations introduced amid full-scale war. Businesses were allowed to defer the submission of statistical and financial reports without incurring the usual penalties. The government reinstated the mandatory submission of reports effective July 5, 2025.
Businesses were also required to submit the accumulated reports for 2022–2025 by October 5, 2025. After that, the statistical system effectively returned to its normal operating mode. In 2026, the State Statistics Service will once again follow the standard schedule for submitting statistical and financial reports.

Following the reinstatement of mandatory statistical reporting in 2026, Ukrainian companies must once again comply with the data submission deadlines set by the State Statistics Service. However, as noted by the Experts Club Information and Analytical Center, the set of statistical forms varies by company and depends on the type of activity and whether the company is included in a specific government statistical survey.
How to Find Out What a Specific Company Must Submit
The State Statistics Service uses the “My Reporting” service, where an enterprise can check the list of forms for the statistical surveys in which it is included. A qualified electronic signature — QES — is required to obtain this information.
In addition, the official portal of the State Statistics Service has published the calendar for submitting state statistical survey forms and financial statements for 2026.
Depending on a company’s activities, the statistics authorities may request information on production, sales, services, the number of employees and wages, freight and passenger transportation, agriculture, foreign economic operations and other indicators. The list of forms for 2026 has been published by the State Statistics Service itself.
At the same time, financial statements must be submitted to the statistics authorities by legal entities that are required to maintain accounting records and file such statements in accordance with the law. The State Statistics Service specifically indicates this in its reporting calendar for 2026.
Do Individual Entrepreneurs Need to Report?
Most individual entrepreneurs do not submit statistical reports. However, an individual entrepreneur may be included in a particular state statistical survey depending on the type of activity. In this case, the relevant form appears in the “Respondent’s Cabinet” and must be submitted within the established deadline.
The State Statistics Service cites individual entrepreneurs engaged in industrial production and passenger or freight road transportation as examples.
How to Submit Reports
Reports may be submitted electronically through the official free “Respondent’s Cabinet” or through compatible specialised software. The Cabinet displays the forms applicable directly to a particular enterprise or individual entrepreneur, their submission deadlines and instructions.
What Penalties Are Provided For?
According to Opendatabot, citing the applicable administrative liability provisions, failure to submit statistical reports, violation of submission deadlines, or the submission of incomplete or inaccurate information is punishable by a fine of UAH 51–85 for individuals and UAH 170–255 for officials and individual entrepreneurs. Liability may be higher for a repeated violation.
In practice, the average fine imposed by the State Statistics Service in 2020–2025 amounted to approximately UAH 170. Over six years, 228 penalty orders totalling UAH 38,862 were issued.
Mandatory statistical reporting was fully reinstated on 5 July 2025. Therefore, in 2026, enterprises should no longer rely on the deferral regime that was in force during the first years of the full-scale war.

In 2025, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine resumed imposing administrative fines for violations related to the submission of statistical reports, after no such resolutions were issued in 2023 or 2024.
According to Opendatabot, in 2025, the State Statistics Service issued 30 rulings totaling 5,100 UAH. By comparison, there were 21 such rulings in 2022, and none in 2023–2024.
The refund of fines is linked to the reinstatement of mandatory statistical and financial reporting. The State Statistics Service officially announced that, as of July 5, 2025, reporting once again became mandatory for enterprises, institutions, organizations, and entrepreneurs included in state statistical surveys.
Companies that took advantage of wartime exemptions and failed to submit the required information in 2022–2025 were required to file their backlog of reports within three months—by October 5, 2025. At the same time, the regular deadlines for submitting current reports were reinstated.
However, the practice of imposing fines in 2025 proved to be extremely uneven. All 30 resolutions were issued in just five regions: respondents in Vinnytsia, Zakarpattia, and Ivano-Frankivsk Oblasts received eight each; those in Mykolaiv Oblast received five; and one was issued in Luhansk Oblast.
Administrative liability applies for failure to provide statistical data, missing deadlines, or submitting inaccurate or incomplete information. According to Opendatabot, the fine for officials and sole proprietors ranges from 170 to 255 UAH, and may be higher in the event of a repeat violation.
In 2026, the reporting obligation remains in effect. The State Statistics Service has published a separate reporting calendar for 2026 and allows companies to review the required forms via the “My Reporting” service.

In July 2026, prices for clothing and footwear in Ukraine fell by 4.8% compared to June and by 5.6% compared to July of last year, according to data from the State Statistics Service. Clothing prices fell by 5.8% over the month and by 5.4% year-over-year. Footwear prices fell by 3.5% and 6.1%, respectively.
Compared to December 2025, the entire “clothing and footwear” category fell in price by 4.5%, including clothing by 6.5% and footwear by 2%.
In January–July 2026, prices for clothing and footwear were, on average, 5.5% lower than during the same period in 2025. At the same time, the overall consumer price index rose by 7.8% over these two periods.
Clothing and footwear thus remain one of the largest categories in the consumer basket where the State Statistics Service has recorded price declines amid overall inflation.

The cost of water supply in Ukraine in July 2026 rose by 31.9% compared to June, while the cost of sewer services rose by 29.8%, according to data from the State Statistics Service. On a year-over-year basis, water supply prices rose by 52.1%, and sewerage services by 48.8%. A similar increase was recorded compared to December 2025.
As a result, the entire “housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels” group rose in price by 1.6% month-over-month in July and by 4.5% compared to July of last year.
The cost of garbage collection rose by 5.1% month-over-month and by 16.2% year-over-year. Maintenance of buildings and surrounding areas rose by 5.8% year-over-year.
At the same time, the statistical cost of electricity, natural gas, hot water, and heating in July remained unchanged both compared to June and year-over-year.
Thus, the July spike in the utility component was primarily due to a sharp increase in the cost of water supply and sewer services.

Consumer prices in Ukraine rose by 0.3% in July 2026 compared with June, while annual inflation accelerated to 7.7% from 7.2% a month earlier, according to data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. Since the beginning of the year, consumer prices have risen by 6%. In January–July 2026, they were 7.8% higher than in January–July 2025.
The acceleration in annual inflation is partly due to the base effect: in July 2025, prices fell by 0.2%. However, the current rate of 7.7% remains lower than the 8.2% recorded in May.
Core inflation slowed to 0.3% in July from 0.5% in June and 0.7% in May. On an annual basis, it remained at 8.1%.
The trends in individual components of the consumer basket varied significantly. Food and non-alcoholic beverages fell in price by 0.2% over the month, while clothing and footwear fell by 4.8%. At the same time, housing and utilities rose by 1.6%, and transportation by 1.3%.
At the end of July, the NBU raised its inflation forecast for the end of 2026 from 9.4% to 10%, and its core inflation forecast from 7.2% to 9.2%. The regulator attributes the increase in underlying price pressures to rising business costs for logistics, labor, and energy resources.
Data from the State Statistics Service excludes territories temporarily occupied by Russia and parts of the country where hostilities are ongoing or have taken place.
