Obtaining the status of a critical enterprise is a priority for many business entities today. The lawyers at “Prikhodko&Partners” are well versed in the practical aspects of this process and can effectively assist you.
What is critically important enterprise status?
What is critically important enterprise status?Let’s start with what this status gives and why it is useful for business. Obtaining the status of a critically important enterprise for the functioning of the economy and ensuring the livelihoods of the population in a special period is a strategic task for modern Ukrainian business. This special legal status allows the organization to officially confirm its importance to the state and receive a number of significant preferences.
The main tasks of this status are:
- ensuring the continuity of production processes;
- preservation of human resources potential in conditions of mobilization.
For many companies, this is the only legal way to avoid losing specialists, whose absence could lead to a complete shutdown of operations. A business recognized as critically important becomes part of the country’s economic security system, which automatically increases its priority in interaction with government agencies.
What are the legal grounds for obtaining this status and what benefits does it give to the company?
What are the legal grounds for obtaining this status and what benefits does it give to the company?The legal grounds for obtaining the status are clearly regulated by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine № 76, which defines the procedure and criteria for booking military conscripts. The main advantage that the company receives is the possibility of booking up to 50 percent, and in some cases, a larger number of its employees. This allows management to plan work for the long term, without fear of a sudden staff shortage. In addition, the critical status is evidence of business transparency, as the procedure involves a thorough check of financial statements, tax payments, and the absence of debts to the budget. Thus, the company receives not only protection for personnel, but also reputational confirmation of its integrity as a taxpayer.
So, the key benefits of this status are as follows:
- the possibility of booking employees;
- stability of business operations during mobilization;
- priority for the state.
That is why the critical status allows the enterprise to build its activities more confidently and predictably during martial law.
What are the criteria and requirements for obtaining the status?
What are the criteria and requirements for obtaining the status?The criteria and requirements for obtaining the status are divided into general economic, strategic and industry indicators. The legislation establishes an exhaustive list of conditions, and for a positive decision, a company must meet at least three of them.
| Financial indicators | The total amount of taxes, fees and payments paid to the state and local budgets, which during the reporting tax year must exceed the equivalent of 1.5 million euros. The amount of receipts in foreign currency, excluding credits and loans, which must be no less than the equivalent of 32 million euros, is also taken into account. |
| Social indicators | The average salary of insured employees at the enterprise for the last calendar quarter, which must be no less than the average salary in the region. |
Therefore, the criteria applied to a particular enterprise depend on the type of its activity.
What is the first thing you should know when seeking help in obtaining enterprise criticality?
In this regard, it is important to understand the following aspects:
- not all companies are automatically eligible for this status;
- it is worth taking care of the correct preparation of documents – professional tax lawyers will help with this;
- different authorities may impose additional requirements – therefore the case should be accompanied by those who have the appropriate practical experience.
Understanding these factors will help you avoid a number of mistakes in the process of obtaining the status of a critical enterprise.
