IMF Considers One-Year Extension for Ukraine’s VAT Reform Under New $8.1 Billion Loan Program

  • The IMF is considering giving Ukraine one year to implement VAT changes for individual entrepreneurs as part of a new $8.1 billion lending program.
  • Ukraine must meet several IMF conditions for new lending, including tax reforms such as the OLX tax, parcel taxation, and VAT for entrepreneurs with annual income over 1 million hryvnias.
  • The IMF acknowledges the need for flexibility, especially regarding the VAT requirement, due to Ukraine’s current challenges like damaged energy infrastructure and harsh winter conditions.
  • IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva visited Kyiv for high-level talks with Ukrainian leaders about the new program, which is crucial for Ukraine’s macro-financial stability.
  • Since February 2022, the IMF has provided $13.4 billion to Ukraine, making it the fourth-largest provider of budget support.
