According to the head of the administration of excise duty of the State Tax Administration of Ukraine (STA) Yuri Marchenko, in 2009 from the excise tax on domestic and imported cigarettes in the budget received 9.06 billion USD., whereas in 2008 - 3 UAH 5 billion. He emphasized that the sharp increase in income due to higher excise tax rates, as well as a drop in production of cigarettes in the past year by 11%.

At the same time, the head of the methodology of the Office of Administration excise NATU Love Migunova noted that Ukraine must also impose a tax on tobacco raw material. “Ukrainian law does not exist today control standards in output and the zero rate on tobacco, imported to Ukraine, can lead to production of counterfeit products. And revenue could decline due to growth of shadow economy”, - she said, noting that in 2009 the volume of imports of raw tobacco in Ukraine has increased in comparison with previous years.
