Stable energy supply in Ukraine today is not just a convenience, but the basis for survival and successful business. In the face of destroyed infrastructure, businesses and citizens are looking for reliable energy sources, and the demand for solar panels, batteries, and generators is growing rapidly. In response to these challenges, the government has simplified the import of energy equipment: it can now be imported duty-free and VAT-free. This means that solar panels, inverters, and batteries have become more accessible to anyone looking for alternative energy sources.
New tax benefits: Energy equipment without duties and VAT
Great news for everyone who is striving for energy independence: on July 27, 2024, the Law of Ukraine No. 3854-IX came into force! This law opens up new opportunities for the import of energy equipment, exempting it from customs duties and VAT until January 1, 2026. Now solar panels, inverters and batteries are not just desirable, but real options for businesses and individuals who want to reduce energy costs and ensure reliable sources of electricity. This step is aimed at supporting the resilience of our economy and helping citizens overcome the energy crisis.
