Parliamentary Elections: Air time for conducting election campaigning shall be provided at the expense and within the limits of the funds of the State Budget of Ukraine allocated for preparation and conduct of the election, by the state-owned and municipal television and radio broadcasting entities between 19:00 and 22:00. 4.

MP candidates registered in a single-member district shall each be provided with 20 minutes on the respective regional television channels and 20 minutes on the regional radio channels. The above time shall be provided to a party on each of the aforementioned channels in two equal parts of the total allocated time. (Article 72 of theLaw on Parliamentary elections)

Local Elections Law - Broadcasting time allocated for the political advertising on radio and television may not exceed 20 per cent of the actual broadcasting time of the TV and radio company of any form of ownership within an astronomic day. (Article 57 of the Local Elections Law)

Presidential elections Law -  The Central Election Commission and the district election commissions shall allocate expenses for the preparation and conduct of the elections of the President of Ukraine, including those for prin­ting information posters of the candidates to the post of President of Ukraine, for publishing pre-elec­tion programs of the candidates in mass media, and for buying broadcasting time on radio and television, according to budget schemes, approved by the Central Election Commission, of ex­pen­ditures, from the funds for the preparation and conduct of the elections envisaged in the State Budget of Ukraine.

Financing the election commissions of the foreign polling stations shall be carried out by the Central Election Commission via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. (Article 38 of the Presidential elections Law)

Firstly, under section 157 of the Tax Code, which entered into force in April 2011, the income received by political parties in the form of funds or property transferred free of charge or provided as irrevocable financial aid or donations, as well as in the form of passive incomes (dividends, interest, royalties), and, furthermore, funds or property received from the main activities of the parties (including revenues from sale of social and political literature, other promotional materials and merchandising, organising festivals, exhibitions, lectures and other political events) and grants or subsidies received from State or local budgets are exempt from taxation. Moreover, section 196 of the Tax Code provides that transactions involving the payment of dividends, royalties in cash or in the form of securities made by the issuer, are not subject to value added tax. Finally, the accounts of election funds of parties, electoral blocs and candidates are exempt from corporate income tax and private income tax. 29. Secondly, certain types of election campaigning by candidates, parties and blocs are financed from the State budget or local budgets. For example, in parliamentary elections, the following activities are financed from the State budget: publication of the election programme of every party and bloc in the official journals “Voice of Ukraine” and “Governmental Courier”, as well as in one regional newspaper; provision of airtime for election campaigning for each party and bloc (for each party: 60 minutes on national public television, 60 minutes on national public radio, 20 minutes on regional television channels in every region, and 20 minutes on regional radio channels in every region); and publication of information posters of parties and blocs with full programmes, complete lists of candidates and photographs of the first five candidates in the lists (2 copies of a poster of one party or bloc for every polling site).13 Similar rules apply to presidential and local election campaigns.

There is a discrepancy between the definitions of vote-buying stipulated in the election law and Criminal Code. While the election laws  allow the distribution of campaign materials with value not exceeding 5 per cent of a minimum wage, the Criminal Code (Article 160) sets a 3 per cent limit. 

There are no quantitative but only qualitative restrictions on expenditure of political parties in general

There are no quantitative restrictions on the total amount which can be accumulated in an election fund or the amounts which can be contributed by the parties or candidates to their own election funds.

sponsorship by the third parties of the events or other activities in support of an election campaign is also part of a DONATION, also goods, works, services provided or received for free or at discounted price (at a price lower than the market value of identical or similar works, goods and services in the relevant market) that were received by the party or its registered local organization, by the person related to political party or its registered organization, by a candidate nominated by the party or its local organization for the presidential, parliamentary or local elections (through transferring the funds into the election fund account in the respective elections) or provided to the party, its registered local organization, the person related to the party or its local organization or to the candidate nominated by the party or its local organization for the parliamentary, presidential or local elections (through transferring the funds into the election fund account in the respective elections).

the election laws set the following ceilings for donations which an individual can make – in total – to one election fund: in presidential and parliamentary elections, donations must not exceed 400 times the monthly minimum wage (376,400 UAH / approximately 34,630 EUR), and in local elections, 10 times the monthly minimum wage (9,410 UAH / approximately 866 EUR). In case of receipt of donations exceeding these ceilings, the exceeding amount is returned by the banking institution to the donor or, if this is impossible, to the relevant State or local budget.

No later than on the 40th day following the end of each quarter, a political party shall submit to the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption a hard copy (signed by the party's head and bearing the party's seal) and electronic copy of the party’s financial report on property, incomes, expenses and financial obligations for the respective quarter and publish such a report in full on its official website (if any) within the same term. The report shall specify full name and place of residence of a natural person. Other information on the natural person shall not be made public. A template for the party's financial report on the property, incomes, expenses and financial obligations shall be a subject to approval by the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption based on the requirement of this Law.

All election laws require managers of election funds to submit the financial statements on the receipt and use of election funds to the relevant election commissions in accordance with forms established by the CEC. For parliamentary elections, the manager of the current account of an electoral fund of a party shall submit an interim financial report on the use of resources in the respective current account, to the CEC, not later than thirty days before the voting day  for the period starting the day of opening of the accumulation account of the electoral fund and ending thirty two days before the day of voting. Consequently, the final financial statements for the parliamentary elections must be submitted to the CEC not later than the 7th day after the election.  In local elections, they are to be submitted to the relevant TEC not later than the fifth day after the election. For presidential elections the account manager must submit the reports latest on the 7th day after the Election day. The authorities indicate that fund managers are not obliged to also submit source documents such as payment orders, invoices etc. as the CEC and TEC receive detailed information directly from the banking institutions concerned, via weekly bank statements on the accounts of election funds.
