Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance unveiled a draft law that will overhaul VAT rules for individual entrepreneurs, digital platforms, and parcel deliveries. Key changes include a new 4 million UAH threshold for mandatory VAT registration effective 1 Jan 2027, a 5 % tax on digital platform income with specific caps, revised military tax rates, and new VAT rules for distance‑sale parcels with exemptions up to 45 EUR.
From 1 Jan 2027, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities on the simplified taxation system must register for VAT if their income exceeds UAH 4 million.
Accountable sellers will pay a 5 % tax on reporting activities, with income capped at 834 times the minimum wage (≈ 7.2 million UAH) and sales of goods through platforms exempt if total ≤ 2 000 EUR.
Military tax will be 10 % of one minimum wage (850 UAH in 2026) for first, second, and fourth groups; 1 % of income for third group; and 5 % for individuals.
The tax base is the total invoice value (150 EUR) and exemptions apply for goods to individuals with invoice value ≤ 45 EUR or sent without payment for personal use.
