Friends, I have bad news again. Two draft laws have been registered in the Verkhovna Rada — №14025 and №14026. They initiate international automatic information exchange about income from digital platforms. In simple terms: banks, taxi services, rental sites, and marketplaces now "inform" the State Tax Service (DPS) on your behalf and about you.
What does this mean:
All operators of digital platforms (Airbnb, Uber, Bolt, Glovo, OLX, and others) are obliged to submit a report to the State Tax Service about users' incomes every year by January 31.
The tax agent will be the platform itself - that is, you don't even need to submit a declaration, it will automatically 'calculate' your amount.
If you are a resident of Ukraine and receive money from digital platforms abroad - foreign tax services will also send this data to the State Tax Service. It will be impossible to hide.
Who will this affect
'Reporting activity' covers:
rental of housing, offices or parking spaces;
personal services (from tutoring to manicure through platforms);
sale of goods;
rental of transport.
That is, it will affect every second Ukrainian who has ever gone out 'to earn through the app'.
What taxes
Here the government decided to 'lure' citizens with a carrot:
5% preferential rate for individuals, if you:
• do not have the status of an individual entrepreneur;
• do not use hired labor;
• have a separate bank account for income from the platform;
• do not exceed an annual income of 834 minimum wages (~6.7 million UAH in 2025).If the conditions are not met - standard tax of 18% personal income tax + military tax.
Small sales: if your income for the year is up to 36,336 UAH (12 living minimums) - tax is not applied.
Banks are also 'in the game'
It is provided that banks, at the request of the State Tax Service, are obliged to provide information on the accounts of such individuals. If you use the preferential regime - every penny is under the microscope.
'Cryptocurrency as a path to financial freedom'?
Yes, but this path is now going hand in hand with tax transparency. The state has decided: the digital economy is billions, and they cannot remain in the 'gray zone'. This is already obvious for crypto, and now the same applies to digital platforms.
📌 Conclusion:
Ukraine is entering the global trend of total fiscal control over digital incomes. 'Additional online earnings' is now becoming part of the official economy. Playing 'in the dark' will become increasingly dangerous.
