CORPORATE
INCOME TAX

1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 4
Taxpayers
Corporate Income Tax (CIT) is paid by the resident companies, which receive
income in Ukraine as well as abroad. CIT is also paid by the non-resident
companies, which receive income from Ukrainian sources.
Rate
Currently, a flat rate of 18% is established for all CIT taxpayers.
However, for some activities a separate rate is applicable. These include:
•	 3% rate for insurance activities regarding the non-life insurance;
•	0% rate for insurance activities regarding the long-term life insurance,
voluntary medical insurance and non-state pension schemes;
•	 10% rate for lotteries and gambling activities using gaming machines;
•	0%, 4% and 12% for non-resident insurers based on insurance
agreement (depending on the insurance accident case);
•	6% for a freight amount paid by a resident to a non-resident under
freight contracts;
•	15% for residents or permanent representative offices in Ukraine,
which make payments to non-residents from the income derived from
Ukrainian sources of origin;
•	20% for residents, which make payments to non-residents for
advertising production or its distribution.
Tax base
The CIT base is the income derived from Ukrainian sources of origin and
abroad. The amount of tax is determined by adjustment of financial result
(profit or loss) before tax, as calculated in accordance with the Ukrainian
accounting standards or IFRS.
Peculiarities of taxation
Adjustment of financial results
Adjustment of financial results is possible by way of:
1) Amortization
The financial result before tax is increased by:
•	the amount of the accrued depreciation of fixed assets or intangible
assets pursuant to the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS;
•	the amount of write-off and impairment of fixed assets and intangible
assets, included in the expenses of the reporting period in accordance
with the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS;
•	the amount of residual value of a separate item of fixed assets or
intangible assets defined by the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS,
in the event of liquidation or sale of such asset.
1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 5
The financial result before tax is decreased by:
•	 the amount of the depreciation of fixed assets and intangible assets;
•	 the amount of residual value of a separate item of fixed assets or intan-
gible assets, defined by tax accounting in the event of liquidation or sale
of such asset;
•	 the amount of revaluations and gains from the recovery of fixed assets
and intangible assets value in the amount of losses from the previous
period write-off and impairment of such assets in accordance with the
Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS.
2) Reimbursement for future expenses
The financial result before tax is increased by:
•	 the amount of expenses on accrued provisions for future expenses and
payments in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting standards or
IFRS.
The financial result before tax is decreased by:
•	the amount of realization of accrued provisions or future expenses and
payments, accrued in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting stand-
ards of IFRS;
•	 the amount of provision reduction if it has increased the financial profit
(loss) before tax.
3) Doubtful debts
The financial result before tax is increased by:
•	 the amount of doubtful debts accrued in accordance with the Ukrainian
accounting standards or IFRS;
•	 the amount of receivables write-off that does not fulfil the criteria of bad
debt over debts allowance.
The financial result before tax is decreased by:
•	 the amount of doubtful debts allowance reduction if it has increased
the financial result before tax in accordance with the Ukrainian account-
ing standards or IFRS.
Some types of profit are not included in the overall taxable income. These
include:
•	 the income from the interest accrued on securities of the Ministry of
Finance of Ukraine and the NBU’s debt obligations;
•	 the income received by non-residents as the interest accrued on gov-
ernment securities or municipal bonds or debt securities guaranteed by
the state;
•	 the body of the deposit at a bank or non-bank financial institution;
•	 the principal amount of repayable returnable financial aid provided by a
taxpayer to other persons. The principal amount of repayable financial
aid received by a taxpayer;
•	 the investment profit from transactions with debt obligations of the
NBU and treasury obligations of Ukraine;
•	 the income from international financial organizations under the frame-
work of implementation of energy efficiency and energy saving projects.
Taxation of non-residents
The income of non-resident legal entities derived from Ukrainian sources of
origin is taxed by CIT at the rate of 15%. The CIT tax base is the income from
dividends, royalties, freight, the proceeds of engineering, leasing and rent,
profits from sale of real estate, securities and corporate rights, the proceeds
of joint activities and entertainment activities, etc.
In relation to the income from Ukrainian sources of origin, the following
rates apply:
In certain cases, the lower tax rate might apply under the double taxation
agreements. Ukraine has valid double taxation agreements with approxi-
mately 75 countries (see Schedule 1). It should also be noted that double
taxation agreements with specific countries may provide for more favour­
able taxation arrangements.
Transfer pricing
For the purposes of correct CIT taxation, the control has been established
over related-party transactions. In addition, such control is exercised over
transactions with non-residents in low-tax jurisdictions. The list of such
countries is specified by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and provided in
Schedule 2.
Low-tax jurisdictions are determined on the basis of the following criteria:
•	the general CIT rate in such countries is by 5 or more percentage points
lower than in Ukraine;
•	Ukraine does not have any agreements on information exchange with
such countries.
The transfer pricing control is exercised over transactions, where:
•	the taxpayer’s revenue exceeds UAH 50 million*
for the tax year;
•	the annual volume of the transactions with one counterparty (related
person) exceeds UAH 5 million.
1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 6
Dividends 15%
Interest 15%
Royalty 15%
Freight 6%
Other profits from Ukrainian sources of origin 15%
* As of 30 June 2016 the National Bank of Ukraine established its official currency exchange rate at UAH 24.85 per one US dollar.
Fines for failure to submit a report on the controlled transactions and re-
spective documentation on transfer pricing are as follows:
•	300 minimal wages*
for failure to submit the report on controlled trans-
actions;
•	1% of the amount of transactions omitted from the report, but no more
than 300 minimal wages for all undeclared transactions;
•	3% of the amount of transactions in respect of which transfer pricing
documentation was not submitted, but no more than 200 minimal wages.
Thin capitalization rules
In order to prevent tax base erosion and profit outflow from the country,
there are the thin capitalization rules effective in Ukraine.
Under the thin capitalization rules, expenses of the resident in the current tax
period include the amount of interest paid on loans, which does not exceed
50% of profits, expenses on repayment of interests. It should be noted that a
non-resident is deemed to be a related party if the amount of taxpayer’s liabili-
ties with such non-resident exceeds the equity ratio by more than 3.5 times.
1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 7
* Currently, one minimal wage in Ukraine amounts to UAH 1,450. Starting from 01 December 2016 the minimal wage will
amount to UAH 1,550. The minimal wage is specified each year in the state budged of Ukraine.

  • 4. 1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 4 Taxpayers Corporate Income Tax (CIT) is paid by the resident companies, which receive income in Ukraine as well as abroad. CIT is also paid by the non-resident companies, which receive income from Ukrainian sources. Rate Currently, a flat rate of 18% is established for all CIT taxpayers. However, for some activities a separate rate is applicable. These include: • 3% rate for insurance activities regarding the non-life insurance; • 0% rate for insurance activities regarding the long-term life insurance, voluntary medical insurance and non-state pension schemes; • 10% rate for lotteries and gambling activities using gaming machines; • 0%, 4% and 12% for non-resident insurers based on insurance agreement (depending on the insurance accident case); • 6% for a freight amount paid by a resident to a non-resident under freight contracts; • 15% for residents or permanent representative offices in Ukraine, which make payments to non-residents from the income derived from Ukrainian sources of origin; • 20% for residents, which make payments to non-residents for advertising production or its distribution. Tax base The CIT base is the income derived from Ukrainian sources of origin and abroad. The amount of tax is determined by adjustment of financial result (profit or loss) before tax, as calculated in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS. Peculiarities of taxation Adjustment of financial results Adjustment of financial results is possible by way of: 1) Amortization The financial result before tax is increased by: • the amount of the accrued depreciation of fixed assets or intangible assets pursuant to the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS; • the amount of write-off and impairment of fixed assets and intangible assets, included in the expenses of the reporting period in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS; • the amount of residual value of a separate item of fixed assets or intangible assets defined by the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS, in the event of liquidation or sale of such asset.
  • 5. 1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 5 The financial result before tax is decreased by: • the amount of the depreciation of fixed assets and intangible assets; • the amount of residual value of a separate item of fixed assets or intan- gible assets, defined by tax accounting in the event of liquidation or sale of such asset; • the amount of revaluations and gains from the recovery of fixed assets and intangible assets value in the amount of losses from the previous period write-off and impairment of such assets in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS. 2) Reimbursement for future expenses The financial result before tax is increased by: • the amount of expenses on accrued provisions for future expenses and payments in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS. The financial result before tax is decreased by: • the amount of realization of accrued provisions or future expenses and payments, accrued in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting stand- ards of IFRS; • the amount of provision reduction if it has increased the financial profit (loss) before tax. 3) Doubtful debts The financial result before tax is increased by: • the amount of doubtful debts accrued in accordance with the Ukrainian accounting standards or IFRS; • the amount of receivables write-off that does not fulfil the criteria of bad debt over debts allowance. The financial result before tax is decreased by: • the amount of doubtful debts allowance reduction if it has increased the financial result before tax in accordance with the Ukrainian account- ing standards or IFRS. Some types of profit are not included in the overall taxable income. These include: • the income from the interest accrued on securities of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the NBU’s debt obligations; • the income received by non-residents as the interest accrued on gov- ernment securities or municipal bonds or debt securities guaranteed by the state; • the body of the deposit at a bank or non-bank financial institution; • the principal amount of repayable returnable financial aid provided by a taxpayer to other persons. The principal amount of repayable financial aid received by a taxpayer;
  • 6. • the investment profit from transactions with debt obligations of the NBU and treasury obligations of Ukraine; • the income from international financial organizations under the frame- work of implementation of energy efficiency and energy saving projects. Taxation of non-residents The income of non-resident legal entities derived from Ukrainian sources of origin is taxed by CIT at the rate of 15%. The CIT tax base is the income from dividends, royalties, freight, the proceeds of engineering, leasing and rent, profits from sale of real estate, securities and corporate rights, the proceeds of joint activities and entertainment activities, etc. In relation to the income from Ukrainian sources of origin, the following rates apply: In certain cases, the lower tax rate might apply under the double taxation agreements. Ukraine has valid double taxation agreements with approxi- mately 75 countries (see Schedule 1). It should also be noted that double taxation agreements with specific countries may provide for more favour­ able taxation arrangements. Transfer pricing For the purposes of correct CIT taxation, the control has been established over related-party transactions. In addition, such control is exercised over transactions with non-residents in low-tax jurisdictions. The list of such countries is specified by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and provided in Schedule 2. Low-tax jurisdictions are determined on the basis of the following criteria: • the general CIT rate in such countries is by 5 or more percentage points lower than in Ukraine; • Ukraine does not have any agreements on information exchange with such countries. The transfer pricing control is exercised over transactions, where: • the taxpayer’s revenue exceeds UAH 50 million* for the tax year; • the annual volume of the transactions with one counterparty (related person) exceeds UAH 5 million. 1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 6 Dividends 15% Interest 15% Royalty 15% Freight 6% Other profits from Ukrainian sources of origin 15% * As of 30 June 2016 the National Bank of Ukraine established its official currency exchange rate at UAH 24.85 per one US dollar.
  • 7. Fines for failure to submit a report on the controlled transactions and re- spective documentation on transfer pricing are as follows: • 300 minimal wages* for failure to submit the report on controlled trans- actions; • 1% of the amount of transactions omitted from the report, but no more than 300 minimal wages for all undeclared transactions; • 3% of the amount of transactions in respect of which transfer pricing documentation was not submitted, but no more than 200 minimal wages. Thin capitalization rules In order to prevent tax base erosion and profit outflow from the country, there are the thin capitalization rules effective in Ukraine. Under the thin capitalization rules, expenses of the resident in the current tax period include the amount of interest paid on loans, which does not exceed 50% of profits, expenses on repayment of interests. It should be noted that a non-resident is deemed to be a related party if the amount of taxpayer’s liabili- ties with such non-resident exceeds the equity ratio by more than 3.5 times. 1. CORPORATE INCOME TAX 7 * Currently, one minimal wage in Ukraine amounts to UAH 1,450. Starting from 01 December 2016 the minimal wage will amount to UAH 1,550. The minimal wage is specified each year in the state budged of Ukraine.
  • 9. 2. VALUE-ADDED TAX 9 Taxpayers The taxpayer is obliged to register as a VAT payer if the aggregate value of supplied goods or services exceeds UAH 1 million for the last 12 months.

For pharmaceutical products, the VAT rate is 7%. It should be noted that 0% VAT rate is applied to export of goods in the cus- toms regime from the territory of Ukraine. Tax base VAT is applied to transactions on supply of goods and services on the cus- tom territory of Ukraine, as well as to transactions related to import and export of goods in Ukraine.
