- Ukraine’s tax authority says businesses participating in the government’s experimental air-defense project qualify as entities directly involved in defending Ukraine and may use the VAT exemption for certain goods such as unarmed drones (UKT ZED 8806) and radar equipment (8526).
- The VAT exemption is mandatory, not optional: if the transaction meets the legal conditions, the supplier must apply exemption and may not charge VAT.
- Because the supply is VAT-exempt, the buyer has no right to VAT input credit, even if the supplier incorrectly included 20% VAT and issued a registered tax invoice.
- If VAT was mistakenly charged on exempt goods, the error must be corrected through a buyer request to the supplier and a refund/reversal process.
