The annual limit for the third group increases significantly and will amount to UAH 10,091,049.

What Entrepreneurs Should Do
- Recalculate expenses: Evaluate whether it is profitable for you to remain in Group 3, considering the increase in ESV and the Military Levy.
- Evaluate VAT: If your main counterparties are VAT payers, it may make sense to switch to the 3% + VAT rate.
- Monitor the limit: The new limit of over UAH 10 million opens up more opportunities for business scaling without switching to the general taxation system.
