The issue of criminal liability thresholds for tax evasion remains as relevant as ever. A clear understanding of the limits of criminal liability helps businesses minimize risks and avoid unfounded accusations.<\/p>\n

On January 1, 2025, the Law of Ukraine “On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2025” came into force.<\/p>\n

The subsistence minimum for an able-bodied person for 2025 remains unchanged from 2024 \u2013 UAH 3 028.<\/p>\n

This index is crucial for determining the thresholds of criminal liability for tax evasion under Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (the Criminal Code).<\/p>\n

In particular, tax evasion in significant, large and especially large amounts is determined in case of non-receipt to the state budget of taxes in the amount exceeding the tax-free minimum income of citizens respectively in 3 000 and more, 5 000 and more, 7 000 and more times, as set out in the Note to Article 212 of the Criminal Code.<\/p>\n

According to para. 5 of subsection 1 of Section XX and subpara. 169.1.1 of the Tax Code of Ukraine, the tax-free minimum income of citizens is equal to 50% of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied person established by law as of January 1 of the reporting tax year. Thus, in 2025 the tax-free minimum income of citizens constitutes UAH 1\u00a0514 (50% of UAH 3 028).<\/p>\n

Thus, in 2025, the criminal liability thresholds for<\/strong> tax evasion remain the same as in 2024<\/strong>. For your convenience, we provide the following thresholds below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n2025<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The subsistence minimum for able-bodied person (determined by the Law of Ukraine \u201cOn the State Budget of Ukraine\u201d)<\/td>\nUAH 3 028<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The social tax exemption<\/strong> (50% of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied person)<\/td>\nUAH 1 514<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The qualification under part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code<\/strong><\/td>\nUAH 4\u00a0542\u00a0000<\/strong>\u00a0 (3000*1514)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The qualification under part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code<\/strong><\/td>\nUAH 7\u00a0570\u00a0000<\/strong> (5000*1514)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The qualification under part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code<\/strong><\/td>\nUAH 10\u00a0598\u00a0000<\/strong> (7000*1514)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

At the same time, we would like to remind that qualification is conducted under thresholds, which were valid in the year of the offense committed<\/em>, and liability is incurred only for intentional tax evasion.<\/p>\n
