Taxes of Ukrainian citizens in Ukraine

Information was last updated on 09 February 2024

The State Tax Service of Ukraine reminded that from 1 January to 1 May 2024, the campaign for declaring the income of citizens received in 2023 has begun. On the website of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, you can find information about:

Being regarded as a "resident" in one country does not automatically disqualify you from being a "resident" in another country for tax purposes. In order to determine the country of residence, it is necessary to analyze the circumstances of each person (in particular, whether you plan to return to Ukraine, whether you have your own or rented housing in Ukraine and abroad, where your family members live, in which country your receive income)

In order to avoid paying double taxes in Bulgaria and Ukraine on income, we advise you to collect the necessary documents when filing the tax declarations, such as:

a certificate confirming your status as a tax resident of the country where you currently reside or confirmation that you are not recognized as a resident for tax purposes;
certificate of received income and taxes paid on it;
documents confirming that you have ownership of real estate or that you have rented a place to live;
contracts with the employer and information on the source of income;
Information about your place of residence and registration for you and your family members.

If you have any questions regarding the application of Ukraine's tax legislation, we advise you to contact the State Tax Service of Ukraine directly using these contacts, and you can also use the Citizen's Referral and Free Legal Aid services.
