Alexander Minin and Ivan Shynkarenko spoke at the АНК Ukraine webinar “Navigating Ukraine’s Tax and Customs Systems”
On May 27, Senior Partner at 
Alexander Minin and Partner Ivan Shynkarenko joined the AHK Ukraine webinar as speakers to discuss the practical aspects of tax and customs regulation in Ukraine for foreign businesses.
Tax and customs are unavoidable for foreign companies aiming to trade or invest. During the webinar, the speakers provided a detailed overview of how corporate income tax, personal income tax, value-added tax (VAT), the unified social contribution, and customs duties are collected in Ukraine.
Alexander Minin presented an overview of Ukraine’s VAT system, which is largely based on the EU VAT Directive, yet still contains a number of notable differences. One of the key features of the Ukrainian approach is the drive toward comprehensive digital control and the excessive role of the electronic tax administration system.
Ivan Shynkarenko provided a detailed overview of Ukraine’s customs regulation framework, which deserves close attention, as violations of customs rules can result in goods being delayed at the border or even confiscated. A separate focus was placed on penalties, which in some cases may be more severe than criminal liability.
