The state budget will receive an additional UAH 5.2 billion from the agricultural sector in 2025. Such calculations were made by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food after changing the criteria for determining enterprises, institutions and organisations that are critical to the functioning of the economy and ensuring the livelihoods of the population during a special period, as well as taking into account the increase in the military tax rate. This was announced by Vitalii Koval, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food.

“I would like to thank the responsible agribusinesses that understand their key role in filling the budget of the country at war. Your patriotic stance and understanding bring victory closer,” the Minister said.

Vitalii Koval reminded that the Law of Ukraine No. 4015-IX dated 10 October 2024 “On amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and other laws of Ukraine on ensuring the balance of budget revenues during the period of martial law” increased the military tax rate from 1.5% to 5.0%. In addition, Resolution No. 1332 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 22 November 2024 provides for an increase in the accrued average salary of an employee eligible for a reservation to 2.5 minimum wages (currently UAH 20,000). According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food, such enterprises will generate additional revenues of about UAH 1 billion.
