Fraudsters are exploiting the name of the Ukrainian Tax Service and regional offices to allegedly raise funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This has been reported on the Tax Service's official website.

Tax Service head Ruslan Kravchenko emphasized that these claims are false.

“I want to stress! This is a hoax! The Tax Service is not involved in this distribution. Its goal is to deceive entrepreneurs and discredit the tax authority,” Kravchenko stated in his Telegram channel.

The Tax Service has already prepared a formal request to law enforcement regarding these fraudulent actions and urged taxpayers to be cautious.

As reported, on May 28, 2025, the Ukrainian Tax Service (STS) announced a widespread distribution of fake emails supposedly sent in its name. Attachments in the emails contained malicious software that activates upon opening the PDF file. Once accessed, the software provides remote access to the criminals.
