As many as 2,500 IT specialists returned to Ukraine in 2018, says Dmitry Ovcharenko, acting executive director of the Ukraine IT Association. Similarly, the percentage of IT workers emigrating has dropped from 10% in 2015 to less than 4% in 2018, reports the IT Association of the Better Regulation Delivery Office. As Ukraine recruits IT workers from Belarus and Moldova, salaries here rise. With most IT workers paying only 5% in income taxes, post-tax salaries in Ukraine are comparable to post-tax salaries in Poland.
