You live abroad and pay taxes in Ukraine

Did you know that you can be required to pay taxes in a foreign country? It's all about tax residency.

Tax residency determines the obligation to pay taxes in a certain country, regardless of whether you are a citizen or not.

Tax residency in Ukraine is determined based on several criteria established in the Tax Code of Ukraine. A citizen of Ukraine who permanently resides in the country is automatically considered a tax resident.

• Permanent residence in Ukraine.
• Center of vital interests (family, work, property).
• Stay for at least 183 days per year.
• Citizenship of Ukraine (if other criteria are not applicable).

There is a possibility that a person is recognized as a tax resident in several states at the same time. This can lead to a situation where the same income of an individual is taxed in different countries, creating a double taxation problem.

To solve this problem, countries conclude agreements on the avoidance of double taxation based on the OECD Model Convention. Our team of experts will help you determine your tax status, analyze the situation and develop an optimal strategy in accordance with international and national legislation.
