Western regions showed the largest growth in local budget revenues - Ministry of Finance

The general fund of local budgets of Ukraine received 441.3 billion UAH in January-September 2026. This is 67.2 billion UAH, or about 18%, more than in the same period last year. This was reported by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.

The largest source of local budget revenues traditionally remained the personal income tax. For nine months, it provided 257.8 billion UAH of revenues.

Another 62.2 billion UAH local budgets received from the single tax, 37.7 billion UAH - from land payment, and 31.3 billion UAH - from excise tax. The profit tax of private sector enterprises brought 24.9 billion UAH, real estate tax - 11 billion UAH.

Revenues grew fastest mainly in western and central regions. The largest increase compared to nine months of 2025 was recorded in Volyn - 26.9%, Zakarpattia - 25.7%, Lviv region - 24.8%, Kyiv region - 24.2% and Ivano-Frankivsk region - 24.1%.

Regions with growth over 20% also included Chernivtsi region - 22.7%, Rivne - 21.9%, Ternopil - 21.7%, Zhytomyr - 21%, Vinnytsia - 20.4% and Mykolaiv - 20.1%.

The Ministry of Finance attributes the higher revenue growth rates in these regions, in particular, to the relocation of internally displaced persons and businesses from war zones and temporarily occupied districts. This increased the tax base of communities to which enterprises and workers moved.

The weakest dynamics, according to the ministry, remain in regions directly affected by the war. In particular, the lowest revenue indicators were recorded in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, parts of whose territories are in the combat zone or under temporary occupation.

The Ministry of Finance noted that revenue growth allows local self-government bodies to finance the priority needs of communities under martial law.
