Ukrainian citizens owning property in the country have paid UAH 35 million of property tax since early 2017, the press service of the State Fiscal Service has reported.

"As of June 20, taxpayers have paid UAH 35 million of property tax imposed on individuals. Let me remind that individuals pay the tax within 60 days from the moment of receiving the tax bills," Director of the individuals' tax and duties department Pavlo Droniak said.

According to the authority, in 2017, around 620,000 property tax bills for over UAH 370 million were formed.

Droniak said that the largest sums of the property tax are recorded in Khmelnytsky (UAH 42 million), Lviv (UAH 33 million) and Vinnytsia (UAH 29 million) regions.

He said that this year the property tax is paid for 2016.
