JTI Ukraine increased tax deductions by 12% — to UAH 23.7B for the first six months of 2026

In the first half of 2026, JTI Ukraine paid a record UAH 23.7 billion in taxes to the state budget, a 12% increase from the same period in 2025. Excise taxes, including a 5% retail excise, made up the largest share at almost UAH 18.8 billion, a 15% rise from 2025. VAT payments grew by 33% to UAH 3.69 billion, driven by product price changes.

Enterprise income tax added UAH 578.6 million, up 5% from the previous year, while personal income and military fees increased by 16% to UAH 141.9 million. Social contributions rose by 12% to UAH 98.4 million. Customs fees, including VAT, dropped 69% to UAH 405.2 million due to fewer imports and more local manufacturing. Despite these tax payments, JTI Ukraine has also contributed significantly to supporting its employees and war-affected communities.

Over UAH 500 million has been directed towards these efforts since the start of the full-scale invasion. The company's social programs focus on veteran reintegration, senior citizen care, support for internally displaced persons and individuals with disabilities, and developing social institutions. JTI Ukraine is also investing in Ukraine's future, aiming to spend up to $60 million in the HTP category from 2024-2026. Since 1999, the company has invested nearly $440 million in the Ukrainian economy.
