Ukrainian parliament passes law extending military levy for three years after martial law

The Verkhovna Rada has adopted, both at first reading and in full, government bill No. 15110 extending the military levy for three years after the end of martial law.

According to the Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, 257 lawmakers voted in favor of the document, Ukrinform reports.

The law provides for the extension of the current provisions of tax legislation governing the military levy for three years following the year in which martial law is terminated.

The decision was adopted in line with the memorandum between Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund on economic and financial policy dated February 13, 2026.

The draft law also stipulates that the military levy will be credited to the special fund of the state budget and allocated to meet the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The law maintains the current military levy rates for three years following the year in which martial law is terminated or lifted:

  • for individuals: 5% (for servicemembers and employees of the security and defense sector – 1.5% on monetary allowances, except for income exempt from the military levy);
  • for sole proprietors (single tax groups I, II, and IV): 10% of the minimum wage set as of January 1 of the reporting year;
  • for single tax payers of group III (sole proprietors and legal entities, excluding e-residents): 1% of income.

According to estimates by the Ministry of Finance, extending the military levy at current rates will generate about UAH 140 billion annually for the state budget.
