Ukrainian crypto enthusiasts have long felt this in the air... But now we have received official confirmation from the first sources.
📌 Taxes from digital platforms - officially in the works.
📌 The individual entrepreneur scheme 'analog paradise' is living its last years.
📌 Tax on international parcels - it will indeed happen.
📌 The state is switching to 'I see everything' mode.
And all this is not my assumptions — all this information is taken from the public interview of Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko and the head of the National Bank of Ukraine Andrii Pyshnyi on the platform of 'Nova Kraina' (a joint project of LB.ua and EFI Group) which took place just after the negotiations with the IMF ended.
So today we are analyzing what exactly awaits us, why it is important for every crypto enthusiast (even if you are just selling an old phone on OLX), and how to react to all this.
🔥 1. Tax on income from digital platforms:
OLX, Etsy, Fiverr, Airbnb, Glovo — welcome to the tax zone
The Finance Minister says straightforwardly — it will be:
“…to adopt the bills… regardingtaxation of income from digital platforms.
— For example, OLX.”
(source: text of the interview)
So if you sell items on OLX, accept orders on Fiverr, rent out an apartment on Booking, or receive donations through platforms — now this is not 'entrepreneurial trifles', but official income.
Moreover, this is not just about the future — the mechanism is already being prepared.
And it is synchronized with the global system of automatic information exchange OECD, which will start for Ukraine in 2026.
To crypto enthusiasts living in the paradigm of 'no one will prove anything to me' — dedicated.
🔥 2. Tax on international parcels — yes, it will be
And here too, without illusions.
Marchenko clearly stated: the tax is a mandatory element of integration with European standards.
This means:
📌 resellers
📌 sellers on OLX who bring equipment from Europe
📌 those who buy mining equipment from abroad
📌 crypto freelancers who order equipment online
— now enter the risk zone.
And here an important clarification:
the mechanism is still being formed, but the tax itself is inevitable.
🔥 3. Individual entrepreneurs of groups 1–3: the analog scheme is dying out
Here is the direct speech of the Finance Minister:
“Is it possible to avoid changes? No, it is not possible…
this must be done by 2027.”
(source: text of the interview)
This confirms the trend we wrote about earlier:
entrepreneurship 'on trust' is replaced by total digital control.
The government's plan is simple:
1️⃣ narrow the possibilities for pseudo-individual entrepreneurs
2️⃣ bring the tax regime closer to the EU
3️⃣ eliminate excessive 'loopholes' that have been used for years for optimization
For the crypto sector, this means:
trading as an individual entrepreneur will no longer be profitable
web3 freelancers will be forced to declare real turnovers
income from platforms can no longer be hidden under the guise of 'consultations'
🔥 4. The state is entering the 'I see every payment' mode
Banks will no longer explain why they are interested in the 'purpose of payment'.
Because soon this will not be necessary — the system will notify everything by itself.
Alongside the interview, the NBU launched:
📌 TrackSEP — tracking all payments in the country.
📌 Each transaction will receive a unique identifier UETR.
📌 From April 1, 2026 — mandatory for all banks.
In the Ministry of Finance document:
“Improve administration, strengthen the ability to collect taxes…”
(source: text of the interview)
What does this mean in reality?
sales on OLX are visible
payments to the card are visible
transfers between cards are visible
regular receipts are visible
movement of funds from crypto-fiat gateways is visible
even atypical behavior patterns are visible
This is a new financial reality.
🔥 5. What about crypto?
The law on virtual assets was supposed to be adopted by the end of 2025, but they are running out of time.
Direct speech of Hetmantsev:
“There is a slightly complicated document, so we will stretch it…
adoption is expected at the beginning of 2026.”
But the main thing here is not this.
The main thing is context.
Until the law is adopted — the market is in the gray zone.
And the state, meanwhile, is strengthening control over all fiat operations, platforms, payments, and individual entrepreneurs.
📌 This is a classic model:
first, the state takes control over fiat,
then — legalizes crypto on its terms.
🟦 Conclusion from MoonMan567
Now we see the formation of a new economic architecture of Ukraine:
total control over payments
taxation of platforms
the end of the 'analog simplification'
strengthening requirements for income transparency
unification with European standards
This is neither good nor bad.
This is a fact that must be accepted.
And crypto in this reality becomes not a 'hideout', but on the contrary — a tool that requires proper legal support, transparency, and education.
And that is why this information is so needed by Ukrainians — we do not sell illusions. We provide people with knowledge.
