- VAT consequences for software sales in 2026 depend on the status and location of the buyer, not the supplier or technical transfer details.
- Transfer of exclusive property rights to software or digital content is classified as a service.
- The place of supply for VAT purposes is where the buyer is registered or resides.
- If the buyer is registered in Ukraine, the transaction is subject to Ukrainian VAT; if the buyer is a non-resident, the transaction is not subject to Ukrainian VAT.
- Incorrect determination of the place of supply can lead to VAT calculation errors and additional tax assessments.
