From January to March 2025, the gambling industry in Ukraine contributed 5.4 billion UAH in taxes to the budget, representing a 20.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
This was reported by Danilo Hetmantsev, head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation, and Customs Policy.
"This amount exceeds the level of January-March 2021 by 143 times (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 mentioned that the turnover using cash registers (RRO/PRRO) in the first two months of 2025 reached 8.5 billion UAH, which is 18.5 times higher than the figures for January-February 2024 (0.5 billion UAH).
"The mandatory implementation of cash registers (RRO/PRRO) in the gambling sector at the end of last year has contributed to the formalization of the industry," Hetmantsev noted.
Recall:
The Cabinet of Ministers established the state agency "PlayCity", which will implement state policy in the field of organizing and conducting gambling and lottery activities.
