Re-registration of a legal entity

In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine, the location of a legal entity is the actual place of business or the location of the office from which the daily management of the legal entity is carried out.

For tax purposes, the location corresponds to such a concept as the tax address of the enterprise (clause 45.2 of the Tax Code of Ukraine).

When is it necessary to re-register a legal entity?

• If an organization requires changes in its name, it also requires mandatory re-registration of this legal entity (enterprise);
• If the company requires changes to its legal address, which also requires mandatory re-registration of this legal entity;
• If a legal entity requires changes to its composition of founders (LLC, ODO, JSC, etc.), it also requires mandatory re-registration of this legal entity;
• If a legal entity requires changes in the size of its statutory fund, it also requires mandatory re-registration of this legal entity;
• If a legal entity needs other changes in its constituent documents, it is also obliged to re-register this organization.

In the case of re-registration of a legal entity, you need to perform a certain number of actions.

The procedure for re-registration of a legal entity:

Preparation of documents for submission to the state registrar

In order to re-register a legal entity, it is necessary to provide the state registrar with such a package of documents.

• Application for state registration of changes in information about a legal entity contained in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individuals – Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations.
• The original of the decision of the board of directors to amend.
• Receipt of payment of the administrative fee.
• The new charter of the legal entity, taking into account the amendments.

After submitting all the documents, you must notify the tax office of the change in the location of the legal entity.

It is important that the legislation provides for a period within which the tax authority must be notified. It is 10 days from the date of the registration actions to register the re-registration of a legal entity.

Copies of the updated registration documents must be submitted to the bank where the company’s current account is opened.

You should also change the certificates of electronic keys, otherwise the ability to submit electronic reporting will be blocked.

If a legal entity is not sure that it will be able to independently register and re-register a legal entity, then it is better to contact special firms that will help to do this. After all, if you do not carry out all the necessary actions in time, you can get into trouble in the form of penalties.
