BRDO Warns VAT Threshold Could Harm Small Businesses, Proposes EU-Style Approach for Ukraine

  • BRDO warns that introducing VAT for sole proprietors with annual turnover over UAH 1 million could force a quarter of small entrepreneurs to close or go underground.
  • BRDO proposes raising the VAT registration threshold to €85,000 (about UAH 3.8 million), aligning with EU standards, instead of the proposed UAH 1 million.
  • They suggest a phased approach: first increase the threshold for the general system, restore trust, simplify VAT administration, and only later adjust for simplified businesses after martial law ends.
  • BRDO recommends focusing on combating VAT evasion and implementing digital risk-based controls.
  • The public opposes the Ministry of Finance’s proposal, with a petition to postpone VAT for sole proprietors gathering nearly 19,000 signatures.
