Industrial Cashback

The Government of Ukraine, through the Ministry of Economy under the Made in Ukraine initiative, implements the Industrial Cashback programme based on Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1325. The mechanism offers partial state reimbursement for enterprises purchasing Ukrainian-made machinery and industrial equipment.

The programme provides compensation of 15% of the purchase cost for eligible industrial equipment, with an increased rate of 25% for agricultural processing machinery. The total financial compensation is capped at UAH 86 million per legal entity per budget year.

For equipment acquired during the current year, applications must be submitted by 10 December 2026. If the machinery is purchased between 10 December and 31 December, the application window extends until 1 April of the following year.

What is funded

The programme finances the acquisition of newly purchased industrial equipment and machinery that has at least 40% Ukrainian localisation and is listed in the official state registry. Eligible items span energy equipment for power generation, transmission, and distribution, alongside municipal utility machinery and public transport.

Support also covers construction and specialized machinery for infrastructure projects, passenger and freight elevators, and diverse industrial production equipment. For specialized machinery used in processing grain, oilseeds, vegetables, meat, and milk, the compensation level increases to 25% of the acquisition cost.

Machinery can be sourced directly from qualified manufacturers or via authorized dealers and distributors, provided the goods are in the official catalogue. Items acquired via leasing agreements are ineligible, as legal ownership must be fully transferred to the buyer upon completion of payment.

Who can apply

The call is open to Ukrainian private and municipal entities, encompassing small and medium enterprises, individual entrepreneurs, and public municipal bodies. All applicants must conduct their core activities outside areas of active combat operations.

Beneficiaries must demonstrate legal and financial solvency, holding no tax arrears and not being subject to bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. In addition, applicants must have no active sanctions or organizational ties to the Russian Federation or Belarus.

Conditions and requirements

A primary condition is the mandatory operational use of the subsidized machinery for at least three years following procurement. Resale, alienation, or leasing out the equipment during this three-year period is prohibited, and any breach will prompt the Ministry of Economy to recover the disbursed funds.

Payments for the machinery must be processed through an authorized participating partner bank, which verifies that funds were successfully transferred to the supplier. The programme may be coupled with commercial bank loans or the state 5-7-9 affordable credit facility, though financed machinery will be subject to bank encumbrance.

Practical tip. If purchasing equipment through installment plans, bear in mind that the acquisition date is legally defined as the date of full payment completion. Ensure that all payment tranches and documentation are handled exclusively by your chosen partner bank to prevent verification failures.

How to apply

Applicants must compile the required verification documents and submit their compensation claim through the authorized partner bank where the purchase transaction occurred. The authorized banks consolidate submitted applications on a monthly basis and transfer them to the Ministry of Economy by the 10th of each month.

The Ministry of Economy reviews the submissions, renders formal approval decisions by the 20th of the month, and transfers payment orders to the State Treasury Service. The state reimbursement is typically credited to the applicant’s account toward the end of that month.

Applications rejected due to administrative errors, missing files, or the absence of the equipment from the approved catalogue may be resubmitted. Applicants are permitted to re-apply through their participating bank once all discrepancies and documentation errors have been corrected.
