Metinvest’s Zaporizhzhia-based enterprises paid over 778 million UAH in taxes in Q1

In January–March, 250 million UAH were allocated to local budgets, which is 7% more than last year

Metinvest Group companies in Zaporizhzhia—Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhkox, Zaporizhvognetryv, and Metinvest Machinery—increased their tax and fee payments to budgets at all levels by 10% year-on-year – to UAH 778 million in the first quarter of 2026. This was reported by Zaporizhstal.

Metinvest Group companies have once again confirmed their status as key taxpayers in the Zaporizhzhia region. During the first quarter of this year, the company transferred UAH 250 million to local budgets, demonstrating a 7% increase in tax payments compared to last year’s figures.

Even during the full-scale invasion, Metinvest remains a reliable pillar of support for the country’s economy and local communities. Guided by the principles of social responsibility, the company not only ensures the region’s sustainable development but also actively engages with residents. Priority areas of cooperation include supporting veterans, implementing educational initiatives, and assisting in the reconstruction of city infrastructure damaged by enemy attacks.

The largest share of tax payments traditionally came from the unified social contribution, personal income tax, environmental tax, and military levy.

“Timely tax payments are not only a financial obligation but also our direct contribution to the stability of the economy and the country’s ability to withstand aggression. Since the start of the full-scale war, Zaporizhstal and other Metinvest enterprises in Zaporizhzhia have contributed over UAH 14 billion to Ukraine’s economy,” noted Taras Shevchenko, Acting CEO of Zaporizhstal.

As a reminder, Metinvest, including its associated companies and joint ventures, paid UAH 4.3 billion in taxes and fees to budgets at all levels in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2026.

As reported by GMK Center, 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 contributed approximately 78 billion UAH to support the country’s economy.
