The government prepares tax changes: three draft laws have already been submitted, but the main one has been postponed for now

The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a package of tax initiatives aimed at changing the taxation rules in Ukraine starting from 2027. At the same time, one of the most resonant draft laws has not yet been submitted to the parliament. This was stated by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak.

Tax changes in Ukraine 2027: what the government already proposes

The government has decided to split the reform into several documents and has already approved three draft laws. Among the key innovations:

• taxation of incomes through digital platforms

• introducing VAT on international parcels regardless of their value

• extending the military tax after the state of war ends.

All these changes are expected to take effect from January 1, 2027.

At the same time, the most controversial point — imposing VAT for individual entrepreneurs with an income exceeding 4 million UAH — has not yet been submitted. It is planned to be revised or even renegotiated in discussions with the IMF.

Government draft laws: what are the problems and voting prospects

According to estimates, the situation with support for these initiatives in parliament remains uncertain. Some of them may receive votes, but others raise serious concerns.

Among the risks:

• difficulty in implementing taxation on international parcels

• possible administrative problems due to the large number of platforms

• lack of technical readiness of customs and tax services.

The taxation mechanism for digital platforms is also being discussed, which may affect some users and businesses, although the latest version of the document has already been softened.

Separately, the government is considering alternative ways to fill the budget, including increasing the bank profit tax to 50%. Estimates suggest this could bring an additional 20–30 billion UAH a year.

Currently, it is planned to consider the draft laws in parliament at the beginning of April, but they have not yet been officially registered. This may affect the timing of the review.

The tax changes are related to Ukraine's agreements with the IMF and are part of a broader reform aimed at stabilizing the economy and harmonizing rules with European standards.

Earlier, Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported on new steps by the government in the budget and finance sector. According to him, important decisions that will affect the economic situation in the country may occur soon.
