Transport tax – what is it
The transport tax provides for the payment of 25 thousand UAH per year for owners of cars that are no more than five years old and whose average market value exceeds 375 minimum wages (in 2024 this is about 2.7 million UAH). The average market value of cars is calculated using a special formula.

It indicates specific brands, models, engine sizes, age of the car, equipment or version for which you will have to pay. All this so that car owners understand that it is their vehicles that are subject to taxation.
