The authorities decided to clamp down on individual entrepreneurs instead of systematically working on de-industrialization of the economy and stopping smuggling at customs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The government and Zelensky agreed to the IMF’s condition of increasing taxes for individual entrepreneurs and establishing a 20% VAT for them.

Our Nina Yuzhanina submitted a request to the State Tax Service regarding analytical data on individual entrepreneurs<\/p>\n

In total, there are 294 thousand individual entrepreneurs – single tax payers of the 2nd and 3rd groups, who in 2025 received income of more than 4 million UAH, among them:
