Tax revenue as % of GDP GC.TAX.TOTL.GD.ZS
Ukraine's tax revenue was 19.32% in 2025, ranked 48th globally. This represents a 8.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1999–2025.
Overview
Ukraine's tax revenue stood at 19.32% in 2025, a decline of +1.71% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 19.32% by 2025. Ukraine ranked 48th globally.
Ukraine’s tax revenue as a share of gross domestic product has risen steadily since the early 2000s, moving from a low of 11.66 in 2001, the all‑time trough, to a peak of 21.03 in 2024, the highest level recorded over the 27‑year series. The latest figure for 2025 stands at 19.32, placing Ukraine 48th in the global ranking and positioning it close to peers such as Moldova (19.44) and the European Union (19.61). The upward trajectory reflects successive fiscal reforms and the gradual broadening of the tax base, although the post‑peak dip to 19.32 suggests the impact of recent macro‑economic shocks and the ongoing conflict. Continued stabilization of the economy, coupled with further improvements in tax administration and compliance, would be required to sustain the recent gains and potentially return to the 2024 peak level.
