On December 27, 2023, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted the National Income Strategy until 2030. The document is a big plan for increasing Ukraine’s own income in the medium term. One of the positions of the strategy is to review the expediency of the existence of projects to create business incentives through benefits for corporate income tax. Currently, two such regimes operate in Ukraine: industrial parks and “Diya.City”.
According to the results of 2023, residents of “Diya.City” paid UAH 8.5 billion in taxes. In total, 1,000 companies joined the tax regime.
