Wartime note: A 1% → 5% increase to the military levy (військовий збір) took effect 1 Dec 2024 and is in force throughout 2026 under martial law. Figures below are as of 1 January 2026. Fixed amounts are pinned at their 1 Jan value for the whole year and do not change mid-year even if the minimum/living wage rises.
The three FOP groups (2026)
| Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who | Retail trade at markets / personal services to individuals | Services, restaurant, production/sale of goods | Almost any activity; freelancers, IT, consultants |
| Customers | Individuals only | Individuals + other single-tax payers | Anyone (incl. companies, foreign clients) |
| Employees | 0 | ≤ 10 | Unlimited |
| Annual income cap | 167 × min. wage | 834 × min. wage | 1,167 × min. wage |
| Annual cap (indicative ₴, min wage ₴8,647) | ≈ ₴1.44 m | ≈ ₴7.21 m | ≈ ₴10.09 m |
| Single tax | up to 10% of living wage / month (fixed) | up to 20% of min. wage / month (fixed) | 5% of income (non-VAT) or 3% of income (VAT-registered) |
| Military levy | 10% of min. wage / month (fixed) | 10% of min. wage / month (fixed) | 1% of income |
| VAT | No | No | Optional (3% rate path) |
Indicative monthly fixed amounts
| Item | Basis | Indicative ₴/month |
|---|---|---|
| Living wage (прожитковий мінімум) | — | ₴3,328 |
| Minimum wage (мінімальна зарплата) | — | ₴8,647 |
| Group 1 single tax | 10% × living wage | ≈ ₴332.80 |
| Group 2 single tax | 20% × min. wage | ≈ ₴1,729.40 |
| Groups 1 & 2 military levy | 10% × min. wage | ≈ ₴864.70 |
| ЄСВ (USC), min | 22% × min. wage | ≈ ₴1,902.34 |
Worked monthly cost, Group 2 (any income up to the cap): ₴1,729.40 (single tax) + ₴864.70 (military levy) + ₴1,902.34 (ЄСВ) ≈ ₴4,496/month, fixed, regardless of how much is earned up to the annual cap.
Worked cost, Group 3 non-VAT: 5% of turnover (single tax) + 1% of turnover (military levy) + ₴1,902.34/month ЄСВ. On ₴100,000 revenue in a month: ₴5,000 + ₴1,000 + ₴1,902.34 = ₴7,902.34.

Filing & Payment Calendar
| Group | Single-tax return | Single-tax payment | Military levy | ЄСВ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 & 2 | Annual (within 60 days of year-end) | Monthly, by 20th | Monthly, by 20th | Quarterly, by 19th of month after quarter |
| 3 | Quarterly (within 40 days of quarter-end) | Quarterly, within 50 days of quarter-end | With the single tax (quarterly) | Quarterly, by 19th of month after quarter |
From 1 Jan 2026 the separate monthly ЄСВ/PIT/military-levy report for sole proprietors is abolished; obligations are reported within the single-tax return / annual cycle. Confirm current ДПС guidance.
Receives USD 3,000 from a US client; NBU rate on receipt 41.50 → ₴124,500 income. Single tax 5% = ₴6,225; military levy 1% = ₴1,245; plus the fixed monthly ЄСВ ₴1,902.34. No expense deduction.
Earns ₴5,000 in the month. Still pays the fixed Group 2 single tax (≈₴1,729.40) + military levy (≈₴864.70) + ЄСВ (₴1,902.34) ≈ ₴4,496, because Group 2 is a fixed regime.
A Group 3 FOP hits ₴10.09 m of income in November. Any income above the 1,167 × min-wage cap is taxed at 15% single tax and the FOP must move to the general system from the next quarter. Flag well before the cap.

Prohibition — expense deduction
NEVER deduct business expenses against the single-tax base — it is turnover-based, not profit-based.Section 10 — Prohibitions
Prohibition — ЄСВ omission
NEVER omit ЄСВ — it is due on top of the single tax, even in zero-income months (2026).Section 10 — Prohibitions
Prohibition — military levy omission
NEVER omit the military levy (1% for Group 3; fixed monthly for Groups 1–2) — it is in force under martial law.Section 10 — Prohibitions
Prohibition — Group 1/2 misapplication
NEVER apply Group 1/2 fixed amounts to a freelancer serving companies or foreign clients — that requires Group 3.Section 10 — Prohibitions
Prohibition — cap excess rate
NEVER treat income over the group cap as still 5% — the excess is 15% and forces a regime change.Section 10 — Prohibitions
Prohibition — definitive computation
NEVER compute a final figure as definitive — direct the client to a Ukrainian accountant/auditor.Section 10 — Prohibitions
