Food Price Forecast and Tax Rates

As for food prices, some items are expected to become cheaper, notably vegetables from the borscht set. Summer will bring lower prices for these vegetables, while milk is projected to rise by 10-15%. After June 15, cherries and strawberries will drop to 80 UAH per kilogram.

Tax rates will remain unchanged, including the military levy for individual entrepreneurs. Specifically:

• Military levy for Groups 1 and 2 — 864.70 UAH;
• Group 3 — 1% of income;
• Single tax for Group 1 — 332.80 UAH;
• Group 2 — 1,729.40 UAH;
• Group 3 — 5% of income.

The unified social contribution will stay at 1,902.34 UAH.

No revision of social standards is expected in June, signaling stability in Ukraine's labor market and social welfare system.

Maintaining the current minimum wage and pension levels in June 2026 reflects a continued policy of financial stability in Ukraine.

Despite challenges from inflation and the broader economic situation, the government is keeping social standards unchanged, which could positively impact public well-being. However, rising prices for certain goods and adjustments in tax policy may affect real household incomes, warranting ongoing monitoring and analysis.
