Filing an annual tax return for an individual entrepreneur

Annual tax return of an individual entrepreneur: features of filing in 2025

Individual entrepreneurs (hereinafter referred to as individual entrepreneurs), like any other business entities, are subject to increased control by the State Tax Service of Ukraine. They must submit annual tax reports on income, which contain information, including on their payment of taxes - on profit (under the general system), UCI and personal income tax for employees, as well as military duty.

Individual entrepreneurs submit an annual declaration based on the results of the reporting year if they: were on the general taxation system during the year or only registered as an individual entrepreneur in the reporting year and chose the general taxation system; registered as an individual entrepreneur and switched to the simplified taxation system, during the reporting year switched from the simplified system to the general system. However, there are cases when an individual entrepreneur may not submit an annual tax return by law - when there was no income from entrepreneurial activity (except for the exceptions provided for in the Tax Code of Ukraine).

The form of the declaration for individual entrepreneurs is approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance No. 859, currently in force (form - F0100214). An individual entrepreneur has the opportunity to submit it in one of the following ways: in person or through an authorized person to the tax office; by sending a letter of recommendation (with a notification of delivery and a description of the attachment) to the post office of the State Tax Service; in electronic form through the taxpayer's electronic account (if there is an electronic digital signature).

1. income from entrepreneurial activity (must be calculated based on the primary accounting declaration);
2. calculation of the single social contribution and personal income tax for each officially employed person, military service;
