Changes in taxation

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has amended a number of laws regulating the procedure for taxation during martial law.

The most resonant is the expansion of opportunities to apply the simplified taxation system. From April 1 Simplified taxation system can be used by sole proprietors and legal entities whose income during the calendar year does not exceed 10 billion hryvnias.

The tax rate for such a simplified system will be 2% of monthly income. VAT is not paid or charged. The single tax must be paid by the 15th of the following month.

However, there are some restrictions on the type of activity for people who would like to use such a simplified system. For example, such mining enterprises cannot use such advantages. We draw attention to this limitation, because some entrepreneurs use water on the basis of permits for mining. Therefore, such permission may be an obstacle to the use of a simplified system.

To switch to the simplified system, you must submit an application by the end of March to the tax office at the place of registration.

Such a simplified taxation system shall cease to apply on the first day of the month following the abolition of martial law.

In addition to the simplified system, the following changes in taxation are provided:

Simplified procedure for obtaining individual permits and licenses

By Resolution 14314 of March 18, 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers actually changed the procedure for obtaining certain permits.

This resolution stipulates that instead of obtaining permits and licenses, the right to conduct economic activity may be acquired by economic entities on the basis of a declaration of economic activity submitted to the Ministry of Economy. Enterprises engaged in security activities shall submit such a declaration to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The declaration can be submitted through the Action, CNAP or sent by mail.

An enterprise that has submitted such a declaration is obliged to apply for a permit in the usual manner within one month after the end of martial law. It is not necessary to terminate economic activity for the period of obtaining a permit.

This simplified procedure does not apply to all permits. In the appendix to the resolution there is a whole list of exceptions which we recommend to get acquainted with. For example, this list includes special water use, transboundary movement of waste, preparatory and construction works and a number of other activities. All the activities on the list require obtaining permits in the usual way. The term for issuing such documents is suspended for the period of martial law.

Also, the Cabinet of Ministers extended the validity of valid licenses and other permits for the period of martial law.
