Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers will submit three separate tax bills to the Verkhovna Rada in early April 2026, including a new tax on the OLX platform, a 5% increase in the military levy, and the abolition of parcel benefits. No bill to introduce VAT for individual entrepreneurs will be presented, as the government seeks to have the IMF remove that requirement. The parliament previously failed to adopt the OLX tax on 10 March 2026.
