Kyiv provided the largest revenues

Owners of luxury cars in the capital paid the most transport tax. In nine months, Kyiv received UAH 74.2 million.

Among the regions, Dnipropetrovsk region also stands out, where revenues amounted to UAH 23.8 million, and Odesa region with the indicator UAH 19.9 million. The Kharkiv region, which received UAH 19 million.

The collected funds are directed to local budgets. They can be used to repair roads, beautify territories and implement social programs.

Which cars are subject to transport tax

Transport tax is paid by individuals and legal entities, in particular non-residents, who own cars that meet the established criteria.

In 2026, passenger cars aged up to five years inclusive will be subject to taxation if their average market value exceeds 3 million 242 thousand 625 UAH. This threshold is calculated on the basis of 375 minimum wages established as of January 1 of the corresponding year.

The list of car models that are subject to taxation is approved by the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine every year. In 2026, it was included 1,281 models premium and luxury class.

How much should you pay for a luxury car?

The transport tax rate is fixed and amounts to UAH 25,000 per year for each car, which meets the criteria for taxation.

Therefore, if a person or company owns several cars from the relevant list, the tax is calculated separately for each of them. At the same time, the car brand itself does not determine the obligation to pay tax: the model, age and average market value of the vehicle are important.

How income from property taxes changes

The increase in transport tax revenue comes against the backdrop of other property-related payments. According to data provided in previous reports, in January-February 2026, real estate owners paid UAH 2.3 billion in tax on real estate other than land to local budgets. This is 14% more than in the same period last year.

In the same two months, the owners of expensive cars transferred to the budgets UAH 61.2 million in transport tax.

Thus, the transport tax remains one of the sources of revenue for local budgets, and the increase in revenue gives communities an additional financial resource for implementing local programs and maintaining infrastructure.
