Ukrainian LLC with VAT registration

An LLC that is already registered as a VAT payer can issue tax invoices from the first month under new ownership. The VAT registration belongs to the legal entity and stays with it after a change of participants. Legal Solutions, a Kyiv law firm, sells such companies itself: we check the status in the register of VAT payers and send options with the EDRPOU code and the date of our check.

When a Ukrainian company must register for VAT

VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable supplies over the last 12 calendar months exceed UAH 1,000,000, excluding VAT (item 181.1, Tax Code of Ukraine).

Below that threshold a company may register voluntarily under art. 182 Tax Code. The application is filed at least 10 calendar days before the tax period from which the company becomes a payer (item 183.3), and the tax authority enters it into the register within three working days (item 183.9). A company that is already a payer skips this wait.

Sources: items 181.1, 183.3, 183.9, 193.1 and art. 182, 184 Tax Code of Ukraine; art. 26 and 17 Law No. 755-IV. Updated .

Terms used on this page

VAT payer
a legal entity entered in the register of VAT payers of the State Tax Service, with an individual tax number and a registration date. The register is public at cabinet.tax.gov.ua/registers/pdv.
VAT payer registration
entry into that register, mandatory above the threshold of item 181.1 Tax Code and voluntary below it (art. 182).
EDRPOU code
the eight-digit identification code of a legal entity in the Unified State Register (USR). The VAT register is searched by this code.

Why buyers want a company that is already a VAT payer

Three tasks come up most often. A contract with a buyer on the general tax system who needs a tax invoice from the first month. A tender where the contracting authority compares bids including VAT. And time: a ready-made company brings a VAT registration date that has already passed.

The basic VAT rate is 20 % (item 193.1 Tax Code). A VAT payer issues tax invoices, files a monthly VAT return and keeps records of input VAT; this opens work with counterparties who claim input VAT. A company outside VAT is simpler and cheaper to keep.

Age matters separately from VAT status. A contracting authority may check a bidder’s financial capacity by its financial statements (art. 16 Law No. 922-VIII), and a bank reviewing credit looks at the lifetime and the reports of the borrower.

VAT-registered companies matched to your brief

We list a company as a VAT payer only after checking it in the tax register. Name the year of registration, the region and the expected turnover.

We match VAT-registered companies to your brief and send options with the EDRPOU code after our checks, including the status in the tax register.

Risks that come with a VAT registration

Cancellation. The tax authority cancels a VAT registration on the grounds of art. 184 Tax Code, among them 12 consecutive tax months of returns without supplies and purchases. A company that has stood idle for a year needs a separate check on this point.

Obligations. The legal entity stays the same, so its contracts, payables, tax debt, court cases and enforcement proceedings pass to the buyer together with the VAT status. We check the public registers by the EDRPOU code before sending an option.

Own check. The status is public: search the register of VAT payers at cabinet.tax.gov.ua by the EDRPOU code and compare the date with the one we send.

How the deal runs

The state registrar reviews the documents within 24 hours of filing, excluding weekends and public holidays (art. 26 part 1 item 1 Law No. 755-IV).

Questions about VAT companies

Yes. The VAT registration belongs to the legal entity, and the share transfer changes only its participants and director. The EDRPOU code, the registration date and the VAT status stay the same.
