In Ukraine, more than 1,000 taxpayers reported liabilities in the millions
More than 1,025 Ukrainians reported tax liabilities totaling over 1 million hryvnia. The highest amount was recorded for a Kyiv resident—his tax liability amounts to 760 million hryvnia, according to the State Tax Service.
From January through July 2026, individuals filed nearly 215,000 declarations of assets and income for 2025. The total amount of declared income is 323.9 billion hryvnias.
According to the State Tax Service, compared to the same period in 2025, the number of returns filed increased by 5,000, and the total amount of declared income rose by 16 billion hryvnias.
Citizens have determined that they owe more than 6 billion hryvnias in personal income tax and 2.6 billion hryvnias in military surtax to the budget.
A total of 1,025 citizens declared tax liabilities exceeding 1 million UAH.
Among them:
- 72 individuals who declared over 10 million UAH in taxes;
- 8 citizens—over 100 million UAH.
The largest amount of tax liabilities was declared by a Kyiv resident—760.7 million hryvnias.
The State Tax Service reminded taxpayers that the declaration of assets and income is used for more than just paying taxes.
Citizens can also exercise their right to a tax credit and receive a refund from the budget if they incurred expenses during the year that qualify for such a refund.
The State Tax Service, in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, has launched a new service on the “Diya” portal that allows users to file their annual declaration of assets and income or apply for a tax credit online.
To file a return, you must:
- Log in to the “Diya” portal using a qualified electronic signature (QES).
- Select the service “Tax Return on Assets and Income of Individuals.”
- Specify the purpose of your submission—to report your income or to claim a tax credit.
- Review the information that the system automatically retrieves from the State Tax Service databases.
- If a taxpayer is claiming a tax credit, they must select the appropriate type of expense and specify the amount.
You can receive a tax credit, in particular, for expenses related to:
- education—tuition fees for kindergartens, schools, and other educational institutions;
- mortgages—interest payments on a mortgage loan;
- insurance—premiums under long-term life insurance or private pension plans;
- medical services—expenses for assisted reproductive technologies or certain types of treatment;
- charitable contributions—donations to nonprofit organizations.
Next, you’ll need to upload documents confirming these expenses: receipts, checks, contracts with service providers, and other supporting documents.
Next, the user must specify the bank account to which they wish to receive the funds if the tax credit is approved.
In the final step, you must review the completed tax return, sign it using your digital signature, and submit it.

In June 2026, Ukrainian courts held a number of officials accountable for making false declarations. Among them were the head of the Pervomaisk Interdistrict Medical and Social Examination Commission, local council members, and other officials.
The National Agency for Corruption Prevention found grounds for not verifying the accuracy of the declaration submitted by Gennadiy Oleksandrovych Oborskyi, rector of the National University “Odessa Polytechnic,” who has been at the center of a scandal involving granting conscripts the opportunity to avoid mobilization during the war. Citing a list of laws and regulatory acts, the NACP has not investigated—and does not plan to investigate in 2026—Oborsky’s assets or the sources of his income.
Currently, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) are continuing a pre-trial investigation into former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi, who was dismissed amid a scandal.
Meanwhile, the NACP has exposed Verbytsky’s attempt to conceal his high-end properties by getting a divorce.
