In 2016 Metinvest paid over 465 million UAH of environment tax.
According to Mariupol Ilyich Iron and Steel Works CEO Yuri Zinchenko, the works’ share was 72.5 million UAH.
At the same time he doubts the efficiency of dividing the environment tax and using it, as 25% of the tax goes to the local budget, 55% to the regional budget, and 20% – to the state budget. (Ukrainian metal)
