Northern, Central and Inhulets Iron Ore of Metinvest Group paid UAH 2.8 billion in taxes and duties to budgets at all levels during the first six months of 2026. The amount of taxes and duties paid by Consolidated Iron Ore was UAH 200 million higher than in the same period of 2025.

Metinvest’s Kryvyi Rih iron ore plants remain a reliable financial pillar for Ukraine even amid the war and economic crisis, contributing billions of hryvnias to budgets at all levels. The main sources of budget revenues traditionally remained subsoil use fees, which amounted to UAH 1.3 billion, the unified social contribution at nearly UAH 400 million, and personal income tax at UAH 350 million.

“Ukraine’s mining and steel industry is going through an exceptionally difficult period. However, thanks to our skilled and dedicated employees, Metinvest’s iron ore plants continue to operate despite ongoing shelling and severe logistical and export restrictions. Even despite the decline in production, Consolidated Iron Ore continues to make all required payments in a stable and timely manner. Taxes today are a source of support, protection and survival for the country as a whole and for local communities in particular,” said Ihor TONIEV, General Director of Metinvest Consolidated Iron Ore. 

It is worth reminding, Metinvest Group, its joint ventures and associates, paid UAH 8.5 billion in taxes and fees to budgets at all levels in Ukraine in the first half of 2026.
