The aim of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal efficiency of personal income tax in the revenues of consolidated local budgets of both the regions of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv; identification of factors and trends that cause changes in its volume and structure. The article analyzes the tendencies of changes in the receipt of the personal income tax and military fee on the income of individuals to the budgets of different levels, determines the change in their structure; an analysis of the receipt of the personal income tax and military fee on personal income to the local budget is carried out by the components – both in general and in relation to the local budgets of the regions and the city of Kyiv; tendencies of changes in the volume and share of personal income tax paid by tax agents from the taxpayer’s income in the form of wages and financial provision of military personnel in the regional context to local budgets are analyzed; structural changes in personal income tax as a fiscally significant tax in the formation of local budget revenues have been identified. The factors influencing the change in the volume and structure of personal income tax revenues are substantiated, among which the key one is the turbulent environment in Ukraine caused by a full-scale war, relocation, destruction of the material and technical base of business or temporary loss of business activity. This led to job losses, a decrease in wages, migration of the able-bodied population to other countries and, accordingly, affected the amount of personal income tax paid by tax agents from taxpayers’ salaries. The increase in personal income tax revenues in 2022 was due to an increase in the rate of enrollment in local budgets from 60.0% to 64.0% and an increase in personal income tax on financial provision of military personnel. Other components that form the personal income tax are insignificant and occupy less than 10%, while there is no increase, due to the weakening of tax control and the ongoing tax evasion by both taxpayers and tax agents, as well as partial shadowing of business.
