Companies providing Internet services (except for national telecom operators) paid UAH 1.1 billion to the budget of Ukraine and the Pension Fund in 2024, which is UAH 465 million, or 73% more than in 2023. This was stated by the head of the financial committee of the Verkhovna Rada Danylo Getmantsev.

Of these, the largest amounts were paid for:
- single tax – UAH 519.3 million; single social contribution – UAH 403.1 million; personal income tax – UAH 378.8 million; value added tax – UAH 172 million.
“Thanks to joint measures by the Ministry of Finance and the State Tax Service in the second half of 2024, positive changes were made in the de-shadowing of the long-suffering provider market, in particular, the legalization of hired labor and wages,” said Getmantsev.
He also noted that analysis of data for the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2024 shows positive trends in increasing tax payments and wages for most Internet providers.
At 11 Internet providers, average salaries more than doubled in the 4th quarter (network “O” from 15 to 39 thousand UAH, network “L” from 14 thousand to 31 thousand UAH), and at another 12 companies, they grew more than one and a half times.
Most providers have seen an increase in the number of employees, and almost all have seen an increase in paying taxes to the budget and the Pension Fund.
The tax burden on companies operating under the general taxation system (together with contributions to the pension fund) increased from 16.4% in the 3rd quarter to 22.3% in the 4th quarter, and on individual entrepreneurs from 6.2% to 7.6%.
More than half of Internet service providers increased their tax payments for Q4 2024 by more than 50% compared to Q3 2024, and some companies increased their tax payments by 3-4 times.
