Importing Goods as a Non-VAT Payer: What Happens with VAT?

• “Єдинники” who are not registered as VAT payers must pay VAT when importing goods into Ukraine
• According to the Tax Code of Ukraine, any person who imports taxable goods into Ukraine is considered a taxpayer and is responsible for paying taxes
• If individuals who are not registered as taxpayers import taxable goods into Ukraine, they must pay the tax during customs clearance
• Therefore, businesses that are VAT payers but not registered as such must pay VAT when importing goods into Ukraine without registering as VAT payers.
