The tax office warned over 3,000 entrepreneurs about potential violations — it is about alleged “salaries in envelopes”

The State Tax Service of Ukraine (STS) has sent warnings to more than 3,300 business entities regarding possible violations in the conduct of settlement transactions. According to the report, entrepreneurs received warnings through the Taxpayer’s Electronic Cabinet.

What exactly did the STS check

The tax service analyzed taxpayers’ reports for March 2025. Thus, the STS identified enterprises where the number of active RROs (registrars of settlement transactions) exceeds the number of officially registered employees by two or more people. The STS believes that such a situation may indicate:

Use of undeclared labor

Non-compliance with minimum state guarantees in labor remuneration

Possible “salaries in envelopes”

The tax service emphasizes: the main goal is not to record violations, but to prevent them by building trust between business and the state. Entrepreneurs who received warnings are offered to independently eliminate possible shortcomings in order to avoid sanctions in the future.
