The Ukrainian government is drafting a major bill to raise the VAT registration threshold for individual entrepreneurs from UAH 1 million to UAH 4 million, potentially submitting it to parliament in March. The bill also includes changes to parcel taxation, digital platform taxation, and a fixed military levy of 5%. Implementation dates are pending, with the threshold possibly taking effect after the war ends or Ukraine joins the EU.
The threshold will be increased to UAH 4 million per year.
It may come into force after the end of the war or after Ukraine joins the EU, with final dates still being discussed with the IMF.
Approximately 257,000 Ukrainian individual entrepreneurs will need to register.
