๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine โ€” Local Council Taxes

Ukraine's 27 oblasts and the city of Kyiv have limited independent taxing powers โ€” income tax is national. Local councils set rates for land tax (0.01%โ€“3% of normative monetary value), real estate tax (up to 1.5% of minimum wage per sq.m.), and transport tax. Unified tax regimes for entrepreneurs (1โ€“3 groups) are nationally set with simplified rates. Wartime conditions have significantly altered tax collection and enforcement. The simplified system (ั”ะดะธะฝะธะน ะฟะพะดะฐั‚ะพะบ) covers ~60% of registered entrepreneurs.
