In the first two months of 2026, the trade and manufacturing sectors contributed nearly 36% of all tax revenues to Ukraine’s consolidated budget. These sectors remain key to the financial stability of the state, maintaining a leading trend in filling the state treasury.

Impact of War on the Economic Environment
In the context of full-scale war, Ukrainian businesses face numerous challenges: some production facilities have been lost or relocated to safer regions, and logistics chains and production processes have undergone significant changes. Additionally, regular attacks on energy infrastructure intensify economic pressure. However, businesses continue to operate and provide stable revenues to the budget.
Sectoral Structure of Tax Revenues
According to the State Tax Service of Ukraine, the largest share in the formation of tax payments is generated by:
- wholesale and retail trade along with the repair of motor vehicles — 18.4%;
- manufacturing — 17.4%.
Significant contributions to the budget also come from:
- public administration and defense, including the system of mandatory social insurance — 12.9%;
- electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply — 6.1%.
Positive dynamics can be observed in several sectors. In particular, the manufacturing sector increased its tax payments by 14% (approximately +6.8 billion UAH) compared to the same period in 2025. Wholesale and retail trade enterprises paid 9.6% more (+5.1 billion UAH), the public administration and defense sector — 12.8% (+4.6 billion UAH), and the mining industry and quarrying — 27.6% (+4 billion UAH).
“Behind every figure is the systematic work of enterprises and entrepreneurs who continue their activities despite the challenging circumstances of wartime.”
As of February 2026, the general fund of the state budget received 93 billion UAH in taxes and fees, which is 18% (or 14.2 billion UAH) more than in the same month last year. This indicates the resilience of the Ukrainian economy and the ability of businesses to remain a reliable source of budget revenue even during wartime challenges.
