The list of documents that could be transmitted via E-Office expanded

The Law of Ukraine No 466 of 16.01.2020 expanded the possibilities for taxpayers to communicate with tax authorities via the Electronic Taxpayer Office.

To exchange information, a taxpayer must sign an agreement on recognition of electronic documents with the controlling authority concerned. But after the entry into force of the draft law 2524, which is pending signature of the President of Ukraine, the aforementioned agreement will no longer be required.

The Electronic Office can be entered at http://cabinet.tax.gov.ua, or via the official website of the State Tax Service. The procedure of submitting electronic documents by taxpayers using electronic communication means is regulated by the Tax Code of Ukraine and the Procedure of Exchanging Electronic Documents with Controlling Authorities approved by the Order 557 of the Finance Ministry of 06.06.2017.

A taxpayer shall create electronic documents by the due dates and according to the procedure established by law for the relevant documents in electronic and paper form, stating all required details.

Using the Electronic Office, taxpayers are now able to not only generate and transmit tax returns and register a Register of Debt Settlement Transactions but also communicate the necessary statements and notices. In the open and private parts of the Electronic Office, section “Help” contains a step-by-step instruction on how to create electronic documents in the “Reporting” regime.

The “Reporting” regime in the Electronic Office’s private part enables the user to create, and submit to the controlling authority concerned, tax, financial, statistical and flat social tax reports, including notices under the Form 20-ОПП (J/F1312002) (notice of taxable objects or taxation-related objects, or objects used as a conduit for activity) and notices under the Form 1-ОПП (J1312101) and Form 17-ОПП (J/F1312201) (registration at a secondary place of registration).
