The good news for the self-employed individuals: the system in which they work for the year of 2019 will not change significantly (despite the statements of the SFS and legislative initiatives that it’s time to cancel the “simplified system”).

The tax rates remain the same – fixed one for the 2nd group, 5% of the income – for the 3rd, the minimum wage on the basis of which ERUs are charged will increase a bit. The current year’s minimum wage established by the budget was UAH 3,723, the following year it will raise to UAH 4,173. The rate of UST did not change and remained at 22%.

An example of tax calculation for self-employed individuals of the 2nd and 3rd groups Lubomir lists in the following table (in UAH):
