Concerning the transport tax
The transport tax constitutes an annual levy imposed upon possessors of designated classifications of automobiles. The proceeds garnered from this tax are allocated to local budgets and are employed by regional communities to underwrite local necessities, encompassing road maintenance, illumination of streets, environmental embellishment, and communal infrastructure projects.
Who is liable, and what is the quantum?
Obligated parties encompass proprietors of passenger vehicles whose manufacturing date is capped at 5 years prior and whose average market valuation surpasses 375 times the stipulated minimum wage (pegged at UAH 3 million for 2025).
The roster of vehicles subject to taxation is annually formulated by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and made available on their official web portal. For the year 2025, this register comprises 1,362 models spanning brands such as Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Land Rover, Lexus, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Toyota, among others.
The annual fiscal impost is standardized – UAH 25,000 per individual conveyance.
Private individuals receive a formal tax notification from the State Tax Service, mandating remittance within a 60-day window from the acknowledgment date.
Corporate bodies compute the tax burden independently and discharge it quarterly in congruent installments.
It is pertinent to recollect that over the initial 5 months of 2025, affluent car owners collectively contributed UAH 95.3 million via the transport tax mechanism. This figure eclipses the preceding year’s benchmark by UAH 2.5 million.
