Zelensky signs into law bill to extend military tax in Ukraine for 3 years after end of martial law

MOSCOW. April 14 (Interfax) - Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has signed into law a bill extending the military tax for three years after the end of martial law, in line with a structural benchmark of the new financing program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ukrainian media reported citing a report on the parliamentary website.

The military tax extension bill, signed by Zelensky into law on Tuesday, was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada in the second reading and as a whole on April 7.

The military tax is paid by individuals at a rate of 5%, by taxpayers who are individual entrepreneurs-payers of a single tax of the first, second and fourth groups at 10% based on one minimum salary on the first day of the currently month (UAH 850 in 2026), and payers of a single tax of the third group (individual entrepreneurs and legal entities, except for electronic residents) at a rate of 1% of income.

The law extends these rules for three years following the year in which martial law in Ukraine is terminated or lifted.

"The adoption of this draft legislation will allow Ukraine's state budget to receive more than UAH 140 billion over the three years following the year in which martial law is terminated or lifted," Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko said during the bill's presentation in the Verkhovna Rada.
