Transfer of Raw Materials and Fuel to Contractor: VAT Implications and Ownership Rights

  • Raw materials, supplies, and fuel remain the property of the customer when transferred to the contractor for work.
  • Ownership does not transfer to the contractor, so VAT obligations are not incurred by the customer.
  • According to the Tax Code of Ukraine, VAT is applicable to the supply of goods and services within Ukraine.
  • Service supply includes any operation that is not the supply of goods, including intellectual property rights and other intangible assets.
  • Goods supply involves the transfer of ownership rights, including sale, exchange, or gifting.
  • Contractual relationships are governed by the Civil Code of Ukraine.
  • Under a contract, the contractor must perform work at their own risk and the customer must accept and pay for it.
  • If work is done using the customer’s materials, the contractor is responsible for their proper use and must report and return any remaining materials.
  • The contract should specify material usage norms, return timelines, and contractor liability for non-performance.
