Amid the full-scale war, Metinvest remains a pillar of Ukraine’s economy. In the first nine months of 2025, including associated companies and joint ventures, the Group paid UAH13.8 billion in taxes and fees to budgets of all levels in the country.
The three largest payments were UAH3.3 billion in subsoil use fees, UAH2.6 billion in unified social security contributions and UAH2.4 billion in personal income tax.
In addition, in January-September 2025, Metinvest's Ukrainian enterprises paid UAH1.4 billion in income tax and UAH499 million in environmental tax. Meanwhile, military tax more than tripled compared with the same period in 2024, reaching UAH694 million, while land tax increased by 7% to UAH1 billion.
Yuriy Ryzhenkov, CEO of Metinvest Group, commented: “For us, paying taxes is not a formality, but a way to support the country in its most difficult times. The mining and metals sector has traditionally been one of the main sources of revenue for the state budget and foreign-currency supply to the Ukrainian economy, and today it has also become a reliable rear for the front. Metinvest continues to work for the victory and future of our country. We are convinced that the financial responsibility of business is the foundation for the defence and restoration of the state.”
As a reminder, Metinvest transferred UAH9.3 billion to budgets of all levels in Ukraine in the first half of 2025 and UAH19.8 billion in 2024. According to Delo.ua, in 2024, the Group ranked among the top ten largest private taxpayers and led the mining and metals industry in terms of tax contributions. A rating by NV also recognised it as the largest taxpayer in the mining and metals industry.
