The state budget received UAH 78.8 billion in February. The over-execution is due to high revenues from VAT, excise duties, and personal income tax.

For the second month in a row, tax revenues exceed the revenue targets set by the Ministry of Finance for the State Tax Service. Someone probably thought that the overperformance by almost UAH 10 billion in January was a coincidence or a lucky break. But the figures for February show the opposite,
