The launch of eAkcyz in Ukraine will be postponed until July 2027
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy has recommended that parliament adopt Bill No. 15532, which provides for a delay in the launch of the electronic traceability system for excise goods.
The bill proposes postponing the launch of e-Excise from November 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. The system is intended to provide electronic monitoring of the circulation of alcohol, tobacco products, and e-cigarette liquids.
The reason cited for the postponement is the system’s technical unpreparedness. The software requires additional refinement and testing.
In addition, businesses need more time to integrate their own systems with eAkcyz and prepare for the new operating rules.
The committee recommended that the Verkhovna Rada adopt the bill in principle and as a whole.
