Owners of luxury cars paid more than UAH 214 million in transport tax

Revenue increased by 60%

Compared to the same period in 2025, transport tax revenues increased by approx UAH 80 million, or almost 60%.

The largest sums were paid by owners of expensive cars in the following regions:

• - Kyiv — UAH 60.4 million;

• - Dnipropetrovsk region — UAH 18.8 million;

• - Kyiv region — UAH 16.2 million;

• - Lviv region — UAH 16.2 million.

Thus, more than a quarter of all transport tax revenues from expensive cars fell on Kyiv alone.

Which cars are taxed

Transport tax does not apply to all expensive cars. For its calculation, the vehicle must meet two criteria at the same time.

Firstly, no more than five years must have passed since the car was released.

Secondly, its average market value must exceed 375 minimum wages, established as of January 1 of the respective year.

The list of cars subject to taxation is defined and published by the Ministry of Economy every year.

How to determine the value of a car

The average market value of cars is calculated according to the methodology approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.

At the same time, the following are taken into account:

• - car make and model;

• - year of graduation;

• - engine volume;

• - type of fuel.

That is, the tax depends not only on the actual price for which the owner purchased the car. What is important is whether a specific model falls into the official list of vehicles subject to taxation.

How much has already been paid in 2026

For the first half of the year, the owners of expensive cars have already listed UAH 166.8 million transport tax.

In July, the income was still close UAH 47.4 million, thanks to which the total amount for seven months exceeded UAH 214 million.

The growth of payments by almost 60% per year indicates a noticeable increase in revenues from the segment of expensive cars to local budgets.
