By KYIV. Nov 14 (Interfax-Ukraine) – PJSC Ukrnafta received a net profit of UAH 14.1 billion in January-June 2023, company director Serhiy Koretsky said on Facebook on Tuesday morning.
“Net profit for the first half of 2023 amounted to UAH 14.1 billion. Currently, net profit has exceeded UAH 20 billion. This is net profit from business activities, the result after paying all taxes, in particular, income tax. Without any changes to accounting policy,” he noted.
According to him, the company’s projected revenue for the current year will be UAH 95 billion, which is twice the average annual income over the last decade.
“And the rise in oil prices has nothing to do with it. Transparent market work without intermediaries,” Koretsky emphasized.
The director of Ukrnafta also clarified that the company paid UAH 12.3 billion in taxes for the first half of the year, in particular, UAH 3.3 billion in income tax. The tax payment plan for the entire 2023 is UAH 27 billion, including about UAH 5 billion in income tax.
“For example, over the past 10 years, UAH 12 billion of income tax have been paid. Accordingly, in 2023 alone, the company will transfer five times more funds to the state budget than on average during 2012-2021,” he wrote.
At the same time, based on the results of economic activity this year, the company is preparing to pay at least UAH 6 billion in dividends if the meeting of shareholders decides to pay a minimum rate of 30%, which even in this case will be more than the total result of the last 10 years.
