According to the results of 2024, the businesses of the Smart Holding Group paid over 1.2 billion UAH in taxes to various levels of budgets. These funds have become an important contribution to supporting the economic stability and resilience of Ukraine amid the ongoing war.

In total, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Smart Holding companies have transferred nearly 8 billion UAH to the state and local budgets.

Additionally, nearly 3 billion UAH was directed towards humanitarian aid for Ukrainian communities in the regions and support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Among the largest taxpayers within the holding are:

• Smart Energy Group of Companies (gas production sector) – over 900 million UAH
• Agro-food Group of Companies "Veres" – over 150 million UAH
• Smart Maritime Group (shipbuilding and ship repair) – about 10 million UAH.

"We continue to support Ukraine’s economy by diligently fulfilling our obligations to the state. Hydrocarbon extraction, tax payments, job creation, and attracting international investments – this is our strategy aimed at supporting, developing, and securing the future of the country. Despite all the challenges we face today, Smart Holding businesses remain true to their values and principles, working for the dignified future of Ukraine and its citizens," said Ivan Herasymovych, CEO of Smart Holding.

As one of the largest private investors in Ukraine, Smart Holding not only fulfills its obligations to the state and shareholders but also actively works on attracting international investments in reconstruction projects and the development of critical sectors of the country's economy, such as energy, industry, and food production. We are especially focused on restoring a favorable investment climate and creating conditions and fair rules for sustainable economic growth.

As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH). This reduction occurred, among other reasons, due to increased government pressure and the blocking of gas production assets of the publicly listed British company Enwell Energy.
