Metinvest paid 4.3 billion UAH in taxes in Q1

In the first quarter of 2026, Metinvest Group, including its associates and joint ventures, paid 4.3 billion UAH in taxes and fees to budgets at all levels in Ukraine. This is stated in the company’s press release.
The largest single payment was the subsoil use fee, amounting to UAH 1.2 billion. In second place was the unified social contribution (USC) of UAH 823 million, and in third place was the personal income tax (PIT) of UAH 727 million.
In addition, Metinvest’s Ukrainian enterprises paid the following in January–March 2026:
  • income tax – 351 million UAH;
  • land tax – 328 million UAH;
  • value-added tax – 331 million UAH;
  • military levy – 207 million UAH;
  • environmental tax – 190 million UAH.

“Metinvest has been working for Ukraine for 20 years now—and no matter the circumstances, we have never strayed from a simple principle: to operate transparently and pay taxes. War and crises change the rules of the game, but not our responsibility to the country. Today, taxes provide real support to the military, healthcare, and the people. We will continue to work to support the country now and prepare for its future recovery,” said Yuriy Ryzhenkov, CEO of Metinvest Group.

As a reminder, in 2025, Metinvest paid 18.7 billion UAH in taxes and fees to budgets at all levels in Ukraine. In total, over more than four years of full-scale invasion, including the first quarter of 2026, the group has allocated approximately 78 billion UAH to support the country’s economy.

As reported by GMK Center, in 2025, Ukraine’s largest iron and steel companies paid $0.9 billion in taxes.
