In October, value added tax payers in Ukraine were reimbursed 25.9 billion UAH from the state budget. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, writes agronews.ua.

"At the same time, VAT amounts were reimbursed in full, the payment of which had previously been suspended due to the lack of funds in the single treasury account and the priority of financing primary expenditures for the security and defense sector, salaries, pensions and social assistance," the report says.

It is also added that in November, taxpayers have already been reimbursed VAT totaling 5.6 billion UAH. In total, as of November 5, since the beginning of 2026, 202.4 billion UAH of VAT has been reimbursed.

"Currently, the transfer of agreed amounts of budget VAT reimbursement is carried out in a regular mode – within five operational days after the agreed amounts are received by the Treasury, in accordance with paragraph 200.13 of Article 200 of the Tax Code of Ukraine," the ministry emphasized.
