    ACTUAL INFORMATION TAX REFORM 2020 IN UKRAINE – 7. July 2020 OVERVIEW OF CHANGES IN INTERNATIONAL TAXATION On May 23, 2020, the Law of Ukraine No. 466-IX of 16 January 2020 on enhancement of tax administration, removal of technical and logical inconsistencies in tax legislation became effective. This law introduced many changes to the provisions of the Tax Code of Ukraine (Tax Code) related to international taxation. The overview of the key changes is provided below. ACTUAL INFORMATION 7. JULY 2020 1. Changes in Taxation of Transactions with Nonresidents The principal purpose test was introduced as a condition for the application of reduced withholding tax rates and exemptions from tax under double tax treaties. Such benefits will now be available only if obtaining of the treaty benefits was not the principal or one of the principal purposes of the transaction with a nonresident and granting these benefits would be in accordance with the object and purpose of the provisions of the international treaty of Ukraine (Sec. 3 Par. 103.2 of the Tax Code). A “look-through” approach was implemented for the purposes of application of the double tax treaties, if the immediate recipient of Ukrainian-source income is not the beneficial owner of the income. For the application of the treaty with the country of which the beneficial owner is a resident, the recipient of the income and the beneficial owner must file applications and provide documents confirming the status of the beneficial owner (e.g. licenses, agreements, letters of competent authorities) (Sec. 4 Par. 103.2, Sec. 5 Par.

  • Client Alert Tax Kyiv | January 2020
    Client alert Tax Kyiv | January 2020 УКРАЇНСЬКА ВЕРСІЯ І FORWARD | WEBSITE Tax Code Overhaul in Ukraine On 16 January 2020, the Parliament of Ukraine finally passed the heatedly debated Law "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine Purposed to Improve the Administration of Taxes, Eliminate Technical and Logical Inconsistencies in the Tax Legislation" ("Anti-BEPS Law"). The Anti-BEPS Law shall come into force once it is signed into law by the President of Ukraine and officially published. In the meanwhile, on 17 January 2020, a group of parliamentarians moved with the initiative to rescind the results of the vote on the Anti-BEPS Law, blocking thereby the completion of the legislative procedure. Only after the said initiative is formally denied by voting - which is likely to happen during the upcoming plenary session of the Parliament in February - the Anti-BEPS Law would be unblocked for its signing and promulgation into law by the President of Ukraine. The Anti-BEPS Law introduces a number of fundamental novelties aimed at combating tax base erosion and profit shifting practices, improving transparency, tax compliance and administration, formally instituting the substance-over-form principle and other important anti-avoidance rules, generally modernizing the tax framework of Ukraine in vein with the OECD-driven initiatives. The new rules substantially alter the tax landscape for both Ukrainian individuals and legal entities as well as for non-residents that carry on business in Ukraine. Please note that no final draft of the Anti-BEPS Law is available thus far. This Legal Alert is based on the draft text of the Anti-BEPS Law prepared for the second reading by the Tax and Customs Policy Committee of the Parliament.

    Significant Ukrainian tax changes for multinational companies As updated on 22 January 2021 In brief The new laws introducing significant changes in the area of international taxation and transfer pricing (TP) ​ ​ ​ mostly related to the implementation of some BEPS Initiatives into Ukrainian tax legislation, entered into force. A variety of new concepts, terms and obligations await Ukrainian businesses and Multinational Enterprises (“MNEs”). Existing financing/corporate structures may appear inefficient under the new rules. ​ ​ Non-compliance might result in material fines for the businesses. ​ ​ The takeaway For MNEs and Groups that have business in/with Ukraine it is advisable to adopt immediate measures to ensure compliance with the new rules and still retain the efficiency of the business: ● Make an assessment of the current corporate structures to conclude whether they comply with the new tax law and remain efficient; ● Identify if the activities of the Group create any taxable presence in Ukraine (either through a permanent establishment (“PE”) or place of effective management (“PoEM”)) and take possible ​ ​ ​ ​ mitigation measures; ● Assess whether controlled and some other types of cross-border transactions have a business purpose, i.e. are aimed at receiving certain economic benefits; ● Assess whether the Group can enjoy double-tax treaty benefits under the new rules and prepare a defense file, if needed; ● Identify whether there is any Ukrainian controlling person in the Group (either an individual, tax resident of Ukraine,

  • Taxation of Permanent Establishments in Ukraine: Unresolved Issues
    Taxation of Permanent Establishments in Ukraine: Unresolved Issues Author(s): Vitalii Trachuk, Khrystyna Franchuk Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Law and Politics Journal 4 (2018): 159–174 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmlpj.ukma.edu.ua/ Taxation of Permanent Establishments in Ukraine: Unresolved Issues Vitalii Trachuk National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Faculty of Law; Baker McKenzie Kyiv Khrystyna Franchuk National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Faculty of Law; Baker McKenzie Kyiv Abstract This article deals with selected issues of taxation of permanent establishments in Ukraine that lack appropriate judicial and scholarly attention. It particularly focuses on the attribution of profits to permanent establishments according to OECD standards and Ukrainian law, taxation of dependent agent permanent establishments, and the State’s taxing rights with respect to the permanent establishment’s financing by its head office. The authors conclude that to improve the quality of permanent establishments’ taxation in Ukraine, appropriate procedures should be clearly prescribed in the law and due regard be given to the already developed international standards that might be, in fact, directly applicable. Key Words: permanent establishment, taxation, attribution of profits, Authorized OECD Approach, tax convention. Introduction For decades, Ukrainian tax legislation has contained a provision prescribing the taxation of permanent establishments (PE). Being a party to a range of double taxation treaties after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was forced to implement the concept of PE as most developed countries had for about a century.1 Since then, Ukrainian authorities have registered numerous representative offices of foreign enterprises as PEs and taxed them with Corporate Income Tax (CIT) accordingly.
