Tax revenues from luxury car owners increase by 19% to UAH 35 million in January

According to the results of January 2026, owners of expensive cars paid UAH 34.6 million in transport tax to local budgets, with 2,812 taxpayers, both individuals and businesses, making this payment.

This is stated in the report of the State Tax Service, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

Compared to the same period last year, revenues increased by 18.5%. In January 2025, this figure amounted to UAH 29.2 million.

The leaders in terms of payment volumes were:

• Kyiv - UAH 10.7 million;
• Dnipropetrovsk Region - UAH 2.8 million;
• Kyiv Region – UAH 2.8 million;
• Lviv Region – 2.7 million.

These regions traditionally demonstrate the highest rates due to the large number of premium cars.

The official list of cars subject to the transport tax in 2026 includes 1,259 premium and luxury models, determined by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine. The list is published on the official website of the Ministry and is the basis for the tax.

The brands whose cars are most often included in the list include Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Porsche, Land Rover, Tesla, Jaguar, Maserati, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren, as well as some expensive models of Toyota and Volvo.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, car taxation will be applied to cars up to 5 years old, the average market value of which exceeds the established threshold. In 2026, this is more than UAH 3.2 million. For such cars, a fixed transport tax rate is set at UAH 25,000 per year for each car.

The transport tax is fully credited to local budgets. Therefore, each hryvnia paid by the tax is used to finance social programs, develop community infrastructure and support the economic stability of the regions.
