Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers will submit three separate tax bills to the Verkhovna Rada in early April 2026, including a new tax on the OLX platform, a 5% increase in the military levy, and the abolition of parcel benefits. No bill to introduce VAT for individual entrepreneurs will be presented, as the government seeks to have the IMF remove that requirement. The parliament previously failed to adopt the OLX tax on 10 March 2026.

The 2026 Italian Budget Law amended the VAT base for permutative operations, aligning with EU Directive 2006/112/CE. The new rule requires the taxable base to be the normal value of goods and services, defined as the price a transferee would pay in free competition to an independent third party. This change applies to all permutative operations under Italian VAT law.
The threshold will be increased to UAH 4 million per year.
It may come into force after the end of the war or after Ukraine joins the EU, with final dates still being discussed with the IMF.
Approximately 257,000 Ukrainian individual entrepreneurs will need to register.
