Annual tax return in Ukraine

Ukrainian tax residents must file an annual tax return in Ukraine if they received income with no tax withheld. Typical examples are foreign income, rent, a property sale and investments.

We calculate the tax and prepare your return; you file it in your e-cabinet with your own qualified e-signature (KEP). We guide you through every step. We specialize in complex cases: foreign brokers, several countries, owners of controlled foreign companies (CFCs).

When an individual must file a tax return in Ukraine

You must file if you received income that was not paid through a tax agent, so no tax has been withheld yet.

Foreign income

Salary, freelance income, dividends or interest from abroad.

Investments through a foreign broker

Selling shares, bonds and funds through Interactive Brokers and others.

Rental income

Renting out an apartment or house to another individual.

Sale of property

Real estate or a car, if the tax was not paid when the deal was registered.

Gifts and inheritance

Some cases, depending on the family relationship and whether tax was paid at registration.

CFC owners

The profit of a controlled foreign company is reported in its owner’s return.

If all your income came from an employer or another tax agent in Ukraine, you do not need to file.

Filing and payment deadlines

The return is due by May 1 of the year following the reporting year, and the tax must be paid by August 1. For 2026 income, that means May 1 and August 1, 2027. You can file earlier and pay any time before August.

Foreign income and investments

Ukrainian tax residents declare their worldwide income, wherever they live. We most often help with:

✓

Salary or freelance income abroad

✓

Dividends and interest

✓

Foreign brokers (Interactive Brokers and others)

✓

Tax already paid abroad

Foreign income is converted to hryvnias at the National Bank of Ukraine rate on the date received. Tax paid abroad can be credited if Ukraine has a double tax treaty with that country and you have a certificate from its tax authority.

Other income: rent, property, gifts

Rental income

If the tenant is a company, it withholds the tax. If the tenant is an individual, you calculate and pay the tax yourself.

Sale of real estate or a car

Tax on some deals is collected at registration. We check whether you still need to file.

Gifts and inheritance

Gifts from close relatives are usually not taxed. Gifts from others are, and a return may be required.

Documents we need

✓

Passport and Ukrainian tax ID (RNOKPP)

✓

Annual statements from foreign banks or brokers

✓

Rental, sale or gift agreements

✓

Certificates of tax paid abroad

Send scans or photos. Broker statements in English work fine.

Frequently asked questions

Who must file an annual tax return in Ukraine?

Ukrainian tax residents who received income not paid through a tax agent. This includes income from abroad, rent from another individual, investments through a foreign broker and some property sales. If all your income came from an employer in Ukraine, you do not need to file.

What is the deadline for 2026 income?

The return is due by May 1, 2027, and the tax must be paid by August 1, 2027. You can file at any time before that. We recommend not waiting until April, since foreign broker statements and tax certificates can take weeks.

How do I report income from a foreign broker?

We take the broker’s annual statement, calculate the investment profit for each transaction and convert it to hryvnias at the NBU rate. Tax withheld abroad is credited if you have a certificate. Losses during the year reduce the overall result, with some exceptions that we check.

Do I need to report a salary earned abroad?

Yes, if you are a Ukrainian tax resident. Foreign salary is foreign income and goes into the return. Tax paid abroad can be credited under a double tax treaty if you have a certificate from the foreign tax authority. We check your documents and explain how to get the certificate.

Can I file while living abroad?

Yes. Returns are filed online through the taxpayer’s electronic account. We prepare the return, and you file it with your own KEP. We guide you through every step. We accept scans and work online in English, so no travel is needed.

What if there is an error in a filed return?

File an amended return. If the error reduced the tax, you pay the difference plus a small self-correction fine, which is cheaper than an assessment after an audit. If the tax office has already sent a request, our tax audit support can help.
