What this value means
18% is the general rate for ordinary trading companies and has been unchanged since 1 January 2014 (the Code's transitional schedule stepped the rate down 23% in 2011, 21% in 2012, 19% in 2013, 18% from 2014). BANKS — BRIEF CORRECTION, AND THE MAIN TRAP: the launching brief said banks pay 50% for 2024 and 25% 'ongoing'. That is wrong for the current year. Point 73 of subsection 4 of Section XX of the Code, ADDED by Law No. 4698-IX of 3 December 2025, provides: «Установити, що для податкових (звітних) періодів 2026 року базова (основна) ставка податку на прибуток підприємств для цілей оподаткування прибутку банків... становить 50 відсотків». Banks are back at 50% for the whole of 2026, and the same 50% applies in 2026 to the advance payments on dividends they distribute under п. 57.1-1. Point 73 also bars banks from using carried-forward losses against 2026 profit (п.п. 140.4.4 disapplied); those losses are not lost — they may reduce the pre-tax result from 1 January 2027. Confirmed independently by the State Tax Service: «Базова ставка податку на прибуток для банків з 1 січня 2026 року встановлена у розмірі 50 відсотків» (ДПС press release of 12 January 2026, https://tax.gov.ua/media-tsentr/novini/971195.html). BANK/FINANCIAL-INSTITUTION RATE HISTORY: 18% up to 2022; 50% for reporting year 2023 (point 68 of subsection 4, Law No. 3474-IX); 50% for reporting year 2024 (point 70, Law No. 4015-IX); 25% for 2025 under п. 136.1-1, which since Law No. 4015-IX of 10.10.2024 (effective 1 January 2025) sets a 25% basic rate for any фінансова установа other than an insurer — covering banks, and also applying to CFC-adjusted profit of a financial institution and to its dividend advance payments; then 50% again for 2026 under point 73. OTHER NON-STANDARD RATES in Art. 136: insurers pay 18% on profit PLUS a turnover tax of 3% on insurance contracts and 0% on long-term life, voluntary medical and non-state pension insurance (п. 136.2); gambling operators pay 18% on profit plus 10% of gross gaming-machine-hall revenue and 18% of other gambling revenue net of player payouts (п. 136.4); non-resident withholding runs at 0/4/5/6/12/15/18% under п. 141.4 (п. 136.3). Diia City residents may elect a distributed-profit regime (9%) instead. Micro and small companies below the turnover threshold use the simplified single-tax system (єдиний податок) rather than profit tax.
