Business Calls for Tariff and VAT Exemption on Power Transformer Imports

The European Business Association is urging Ukraine to temporarily exempt certain power transformers from import duty and VAT.
The request is driven by ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure, making transformers critical for rapid power system repairs.
Domestic manufacturers cannot fully meet the needed range of transformer types and are already operating at high capacity, so imports are essential.
The tax exemption is seen as an emergency measure to speed energy system recovery, reduce costs for energy companies, and strengthen national energy security.
