In the Ternopil region, polluting enterprises paid 22.8 million UAH in environmental tax for 9 months of 2023.
Out of this amount, more than 6.6 million hryvnias went to the special funds of local budgets, reports the Head Office of the DPS in the Ternopil Region.
As you know, funds from eco-taxes in local budgets should be spent on environmental protection programs.
The message emphasized that compared to the same period in 2022, revenues from eco-taxes increased by 5.5 million hryvnias.
It is noted that the environmental tax is a state-wide mandatory payment, which is based on the actual volumes:
- emissions into atmospheric air;
- discharged pollutants into water bodies;
- placement of waste;
- radioactive waste temporarily stored by their producers;
- of radioactive waste accumulated before April 1, 2009.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, polluting enterprises have paid 521.2 million UAH in eco-tax since the beginning of 2023. In the Zaporizhzhia region, the amount of paid eco-taxes reached 232.8 million UAH.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, the State Budget of Ukraine for 2024 provides for a new budget program "State Fund for Decarbonization and Energy Efficient Transformation" in the amount of 759.2 million hryvnias. The fund will be filled at the expense of environmental tax revenues to the special fund.
