Preliminary calculation of personal income tax and military levy

For a res­i­dent of Ukraine selling com­plet­ed housing; all pre­vi­ous sales in that year must have in­volved the same type of prop­er­ty.

Estimated result

Data required

Check the dates and pos­i­tive prices to the nearest kopeck. For the third sale, enter doc­u­ment­ed ex­pens­es or 0.

How the tax base is determined

For the sale of com­plet­ed housing, Article 172 of the Tax Code of Ukraine sets income no lower than the of­fi­cial ap­praised value. So first we select the higher of the con­tract price and the ap­praisal.

The first sale in a cal­en­dar year is exempt if the home was owned for more than three years or was in­her­it­ed. Exactly three years does not mean “more than.” The second sale and the first sale without an ex­emp­tion are taxed at 5% per­son­al income tax and a 5% mil­i­tary levy.

For the third and sub­se­quent sale of non-in­her­it­ed housing, apply 18% and 5% to income after el­i­gi­ble doc­u­ment­ed ex­pens­es. In this branch, current in­her­it­ed housing is subject to 5% and 5% without that de­duc­tion.

Calculation methodology

Review pro­ce­dure

  1. We check res­i­den­cy, com­plet­ed res­i­den­tial prop­er­ty, trans­ac­tion type, and the year 2026.

  2. We count only prior sales in the same cal­en­dar year; a mixed history is not as­sessed au­to­mat­i­cal­ly.

  3. We compare the con­tract price with the of­fi­cial val­u­a­tion and de­ter­mine B.

  4. Apply the branch based on order, period of pos­ses­sion, and in­her­i­tance.

  5. For the third sale of non-in­her­it­ed housing, deduct only the entered el­i­gi­ble doc­u­ment­ed ex­pens­es; round per­son­al income tax and the levy sep­a­rate­ly.

Example

Example: third sale of an inherited house in Lviv

The owner sells an in­her­it­ed house in Lviv as the third res­i­den­tial prop­er­ty sold that year. The con­tract price is UAH 3,600,000; the of­fi­cial val­u­a­tion is UAH 3,500,000.

  • Third sale of com­plet­ed housing in 2026
  • Current house in­her­it­ed
  • Con­tract price: UAH 3,600,000; val­u­a­tion: UAH 3,500,000

Base UAH 3,600,000; per­son­al income tax UAH 180,000, mil­i­tary levy UAH 180,000, total ap­prox­i­mate­ly UAH 360,000.

If one of the two pre­vi­ous sales in­volved a dif­fer­ent type of real estate, the example is not ap­plic­a­ble without a sep­a­rate review.

What to check before seeing a notary

  • Doc­u­ment proving title to and the ac­qui­si­tion date of the current home.
  • Con­tract price and of­fi­cial doc­u­ment stating the ap­praised value.
  • Con­tracts for all real estate sales in 2026 to check their se­quence and prop­er­ty types.
  • Cer­tifi­cate of in­her­i­tance if the current home was in­her­it­ed.
  • Initial doc­u­ments sup­port­ing el­i­gi­ble ac­qui­si­tion costs, if a de­duc­tion is claimed.
  • Doc­u­ments con­cern­ing tax res­i­dence, if the status needs to be checked.

Frequently asked questions

Are three years of ownership enough for the zero rate?

No. The first sale of a home re­quires an own­er­ship period of more than three years. If the home was in­her­it­ed, the three-year re­quire­ment does not apply.

What amount is the base if the valuation is higher than the contract price?

For this cal­cu­la­tion, use the higher amount: sale income cannot be lower than the of­fi­cial ap­praised value.

Can the second sale be reduced by the purchase price?

This cal­cu­la­tor deducts al­low­able doc­u­ment­ed ex­pens­es only in the Article 172 branch for the third and sub­se­quent sale of in­her­it­ed housing.

What if one previous sale involved land or non-residential premises?

Au­to­mat­ic result stopped: the cal­cu­la­tion method and rates for a mixed history must be checked sep­a­rate­ly.

Are notary costs and buyer payments included?

No. The tool shows only the seller’s per­son­al income tax and mil­i­tary levy under the stated con­di­tions.
