The payment of the unified social tax is an obligation of individuals and legal entities in Ukraine, in accordance with Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Collection and Accounting of the Unified Social Tax’. From 1 March 2022 to 1 January 2025, the payment of the USC was voluntary (those who did not pay the tax were not accrued pension and insurance experience), but now entrepreneurs are facing changes. On 19 November 2024, the Law of Ukraine ‘On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2025’ was signed - according to it, the payment of the unified social contribution is mandatory in 2025. Nevertheless, certain categories of persons retained the exemption. Read more about this and the amount of the unified social contribution in 2025 in the article.
