In the first quarter of 2025, the gambling industry in Ukraine contributed 5.4 billion UAH in tax payments to the state budget, marking a 20.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
This was announced by the head of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax, and customs policy, Danilo Hetmantsev.
"This figure is 143 times higher than in January-March 2021 (37.7 million UAH)", he noted.
According to him, in January 2025, the budget received 735 million UAH, in February – 1.52 billion UAH, and in March – 3.13 billion UAH.
He also reported that the turnover using RRO/PRRO in the first two months of 2025 reached 8.5 billion UAH, exceeding the level of January-February 2024 by 18.5 times (0.5 billion UAH).
"The introduction of mandatory RRO/PRRO usage by the gambling business at the end of last year has contributed to the sector's formalization", emphasized Hetmantsev.
As a reminder:
The Cabinet of Ministers established the state agency "PlayCity" to implement state policy in the organization and conduct of gambling and lottery activities.
