Payment of all taxes by the top ten filling stations by the number of filling stations by the results of 2024 increased by 40%, or by 3.1 billion UAH – up to 10.4 billion UAH, said the Director of the consulting group “A-95” Sergey Kuyun in Facebook.
“To begin with, let’s focus on the results of the top 10 networks by the number of filling stations, which account for 54% of fuel sales in the country. By taxes we mean VAT (without VAT on imports), income tax, personal income tax and unified social tax,” he wrote.
According to the expert, the payment of taxes increased despite a 2.9% decrease in sales. In particular, the payment of VAT amounted to UAH 4.2 billion, which is 55% more than in 2023.
“Among other things is explained by the effect of the preferential VAT rate of 7% during the first half of 2023,” – said Kuyun.
On payment of income tax last year was recorded growth by 32% – up to 2.2 billion UAH.
In turn, payroll taxes PIT+ESV also increased by 32% – up to UAH 3.4 billion. The average official salary for the top 50 increased over the year to 17482 UAH/month from 11853 UAH/month.
“Conclusion. The fuel market shows good dynamics of tax payment on all points, including such problematic ones as income tax and payroll taxes”, – claims the director of ‘A-95’.
According to the provided diagram, in terms of tax payment per liter of fuel the leading network is OKKO – 3.27 UAH (a year earlier 2.39 UAH), followed by Shell – 2.94 UAH (2.21 UAH) and UPG – 12.82 UAH (1.67 UAH).
Also in the top five are WOG – 2.15 UAH (1.25 UAH) and AMIC – 1.94 UAH (1.75 UAH).
The second five are KLO – 1.78 UAH (0.96 UAH), Avantazh 7 – 1.43 UAH (1.02 UAH), BRSM-Nafta – 1.36 UAH (1.09 UAH), VST – 1.2 UAH (0.88 UAH) and MOTTO – 1.09 UAH (0.53 UAH).
According to Kuyun, the increase in tax payments was mainly due to pressure from the tax service, MPs and experts. At the same time, there is still a large gap between the leaders and outsiders of taxpayers in the fuel market, which indicates, firstly, the budget losses in 2024 and, secondly, the potential to increase budget revenues in the current year.
