The Order approves the form and the procedure for submission of Country-by-Country Reporting of the international group of companies (the Report) following the provisions of subpara. 39.4.10 para. 39.4 Article 39 of the Tax Code of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>This Report, which is an object of automatic exchange of tax and financial information, is a part of the reporting chain to be submitted by the taxpayers belonging to the international groups of companies, in cases stipulated by the Tax Code of Ukraine. In doing so, Ukraine is implementing the BEPS Action Plan 13, according to which the three-level structure of documentation prepared by large multinational enterprises (MNEs) shall consist of a Local File, Master File and Country-by-Country Reporting.<\/p>\n<p>But keep calm: <strong>for the first time, the Report is submitted for the financial<\/strong> <strong>year ending in 2021, but not earlier than the year in which the competent authorities joined the multilateral agreement on the automatic exchange of interstate reports<\/strong> (Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports). Thus, the taxpayers will submit this Report for the first time not earlier than 2022, but only if Ukraine joins the abovementioned Agreement soon. For now, the exact terms of Ukraine&#8217;s joining to the Agreement are unknown. This is confirmed by information from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/tax\/beps\/beps-actions\/action13\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the website of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development<\/a> (the OECD), which states that Ukraine \u201chas not yet been required to commit to a date to commence exchanges and has not yet decided on such a date\u201d, i.e. there is no specific \u201cdeadline\u201d for signing the Agreement by our country. Factors that inhibit the process of joining to the Agreement are a long process of adopting the legal framework and software and hardware unpreparedness of the Ukrainian tax authorities for such automatic exchange of interstate reports.<\/p>\n<p>So, let`s consider, who is required to prepare the Report, when it is filed and in what form, what information is to be included in the Report, and what penalties are applied by the supervisory authority in connection with the Report.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Taxpayers, who are required to submit the Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only taxpayers <strong><u>who simultaneously meet two criteria<\/u><\/strong>, must submit the Report to the central executive body that implements the state tax policy, namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the taxpayer is a resident of Ukraine and belongs to the international group of companies in one of the ways listed below, namely:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li style=\"margin-left: 30px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;\">the taxpayer is the parent company of an international group of companies, or<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left: 30px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;\">the parent company of the international group of companies authorizes the taxpayer to submit the Report, or<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left: 30px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;\">the legislation of the parent company of the international group of companies (at its location) does not provide for the submission of the Report and the parent company does not authorize another entity of the international group to submit the Report in another country where its submission is required, or<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left: 30px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;\">an international agreement containing provisions on the possibility of exchanging tax information has been concluded between Ukraine and a foreign jurisdiction of location of the parent company of the international group of companies or another member of such group, which the parent company has authorized to submit the Report, but the procedure for exchanging Country-by-Country Reporting has not entered into force or there are facts of systematic non-compliance with such procedure (the list of such foreign jurisdictions must be published by the supervisory authority on its official web portal no later than 60 calendar days before the deadline for submission of the Report on Controlled Transactions for the relevant reporting year).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>the international group of companies to which the taxpayer-resident of Ukraine belongs has a total consolidated revenue of <u>more than EUR 750 million<\/u> in equivalent for the fiscal year preceding the reporting fiscal year, which is calculated in accordance with the accounting standards used by the parent company of such group (in case of absence of the information \u2013 in accordance with international accounting standards).
