In June, the Lviv region recorded a marked increase in personal income tax payments both in the public sector and among businesses. This was reported by the deputy director of the finance department of the Lviv Regional State Administration, Ivan Nos.
According to him, compared with June last year, institutions and organisations funded from the budget increased their PIT payments by 29%, while the business sector raised payments by 36%. These are the highest figures since the start of the year.
As a result, performance over the first half of the year is also the strongest: revenues from the public sector rose by 24%, and from business by 27%. In absolute terms, in January–June businesses transferred UAH 10.8 billion in PIT to the budgets of the Lviv region, while the public sector contributed UAH 3.5 billion. The business sector accounts for 75% of total personal income tax receipts.
Among the territorial communities of the region where business generates more than 90% of PIT revenues are the Slavske, Sokilnyky and Pidberiztsi communities. At the same time, in the Strilkiv, Biskovychi, Pidkamin, Turka, Khyriv, Dobromyl and Zhuravne communities, the share of business in tax payments does not reach half.
In a number of communities, four of the five largest PIT payers are businesses. This is the case in the Zabolottsi, Khodoriv, Zhovtantsi, Pidberiztsi, Solonka, Shchyrets, Slavske, Kamianka-Buzka, Murovane, Bibrka, Zymna Voda, Medenychi, Radekhiv, Borynia, Hlyniany, Hrabovets-Duliby, Dobrotvir, Zhydachiv, Ivano-Frankove, Krasne, Kulykiv, Novyi Rozdil, Novyi Yarychiv, Obroshyne, Sokal and Sheptytsky communities. In the Morshyn, Sokilnyky and Stryi communities, all five of the largest taxpayers are businesses.
By contrast, in the Sudova Vyshnia, Pidkamin, Rava-Ruska, Strilkiv and Khyriv communities, only one representative of the business sector is among the five largest PIT payers, while in the Dobromyl community there are none among the top five.
