- Only about 30% of entrepreneurs (FOPs) are expected to survive after the introduction of mandatory VAT; the rest may close or become employees.
- Three main reasons threaten FOP survival: complex VAT administration, reliance on tax benefits rather than efficiency, and the end of business splitting incentives.
- Many FOPs operate in the gray zone and depend on simplified tax systems; VAT will make such models unviable.
- The new VAT law raises the registration threshold to 4 million UAH, introduces automatic registration, simplified quarterly reporting, and an adaptation period without fines.
- Overall, these changes could drastically reduce the number of FOPs in the market.
