“National Cashback Will Expire”: How Much Time Do You Have to Use Your Accumulated Balance?

31 July 14:37

Ukrainians must use the funds they have accumulated under the “National Cashback” program by the end of July 31, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".

The Ministry of Digital Transformation previously announced that funds accrued during the first phase of the program—including cashback for April and remaining funds from the “Winter Thousand” program—can be spent through July 31.

The deadline for using these funds had previously been extended by one month to allow participants time to use their accumulated funds. The Ministry of Digital Transformation noted that after July 31, all unused funds will be automatically returned to the state budget.

However, the “National Cashback” program will continue to operate. Compensation for the purchase of Ukrainian goods will continue to be credited and paid out after the 20th of the month following the reporting month.
