In the first quarter of 2026, the Ukrainian industrial company Interpipe transferred approximately 1.2 billion hryvnias to budgets at all levels and to extrabudgetary funds. This amount of tax payments is nearly equal to the corresponding figure from last year. This is stated in the company’s press release.
Payments to the state budget amounted to about 889 million UAH, and to local budgets—182 million UAH. The company also paid an additional 159 million UAH in unified social tax (UST).

“Despite the difficult winter period, the company maintained its tax and fee payments to budgets at all levels. This example once again proves that it is beneficial for the state to process raw materials domestically, which ensures the export of products with high added value,” says Serhiy Kuzmenko, Director of Economics and Finance at Interpipe.
According to him, it is very important that Interpipe continues to operate in the hero city of Nikopol and support communities in frontline territories, while the company’s Patronage Service is able to systematically provide everything necessary to nearly 1,100 employees serving in various units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Interpipe is a Ukrainian industrial company that manufactures steel pipes and railway products. The company’s products are supplied to more than 70 countries worldwide through a network of sales offices located in key markets in the Middle East, North America, and Europe. In 2025, Interpipe sold 470,000 tons of pipe products and 89,000 tons of railway products. Railway products are sold under the KLW brand.
Interpipe’s total workforce is approximately 9,500. The number of our employees serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine or other law enforcement agencies stands at 1,150.
As a reminder, in 2025, the company paid 5.6 billion UAH to budgets at all levels, which is a record amount of taxes and fees paid. Contributions to the state budget amounted to 4.2 billion UAH, and to local budgets – 683 million UAH.
As reported by GMK Center, in 2025, Ukraine’s largest mining and steel companies paid $0.9 billion in taxes.
