Businesses were assessed an additional UAH 1.7 billion following tax inspections in the Mykolaiv region

In January–August 2026 the tax audit unit of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Mykolaiv Oblast carried out 532 documentary and on-site inspections of businesses.

As a result of the control measures, companies were additionally charged monetary liabilities of 1.7 billion UAH. At the same time, liabilities of 1.8 billion UAH were agreed upon according to inspection reports for the current and previous years. Of the additionally charged amounts, businesses actually paid and settled 47.8 million UAH.

Tax officials also adjusted indicators that could affect further budget revenues:

• by 4.6 million UAH reduced the amount of VAT claimed for budget reimbursement;
• by 70.4 million UAH reduced the negative value of VAT that is carried forward to the tax credit of the next reporting period.

The tax service emphasized that oversight of companies’ operations is carried out taking into account the decision of the NSDC on introducing legal and organizational measures regarding a moratorium on unjustified inspections and interference by state authorities in business activities. Inspections are carried out using a risk-oriented approach when there is a high degree of risk.
