Ukrainian Businesses Urge Higher VAT Registration Threshold to Reflect Inflation and Reduce Administrative Burden

  • Businesses are requesting to increase the VAT registration threshold by indexing it to accumulated inflation from 2015-2025.
  • The Ministry of Finance proposed mandatory VAT registration for single tax payers with taxable operations of 1 million UAH in 2026, effective in 2027.
  • Business associations argue the regulatory impact analysis underestimates administrative costs, citing much higher real labor and salary expenses.
  • Estimated unproductive costs for affected entrepreneurs could reach 61-115 billion UAH per year, far exceeding the expected 40.1 billion UAH in budget revenue.
  • There are concerns about a shortage of qualified accountants and increased service costs, leading to a negative socio-economic effect from the new regulation.
