In March, the State Tax Service (STS) began actively monitoring money transfers to the bank accounts of Ukrainians who sell goods online. The tax authorities recorded 1.4 million transactions totaling 1.6 billion hryvnia in less than a month. Additional attention was drawn to 11,000 Ukrainians who received more than 50 transfers to their accounts. The average check for such transactions was 1,142 hryvnia.
The Tax Service recorded 1.4 million transactions totaling 1.6 billion hryvnia in less than a month, from March 1 to 20. Eleven thousand people who received more than 50 transfers in 2025 came under scrutiny.
On average, there were 127 transfers per person during this period. However, in some cases, the number of transactions per recipient reached several hundred. At the same time, the average check for such transactions was 1,142 hryvnia.
It should be noted that on March 1, 2025, the State Tax Service (STS) began actively monitoring money transfers to the bank accounts of Ukrainians who sell goods online. The new control tool — access to the RRO data accounting system — allows for the automatic identification of individuals and entrepreneurs who systematically receive funds but are not registered as entrepreneurs or do not use cash registers.
Currently, the STS has not brought such persons to justice. However, the risks for violators are serious. For example, the fine for operating without registration can range from 17,000 to 85,000 UAH with confiscation of property. Additionally, up to 200% of the value of goods or services that were sold without using a cash register.
In general, monitoring covers individuals who regularly receive funds for goods/services (especially through marketplaces or social networks) and sole proprietors who have not registered a cash register, although they are required to do so.
At the same time, the Tax Service does not take into account one-time sales of personal items through OLX or similar platforms or marketplaces.
