- Ukraine’s parliament has approved in first reading a draft law to tax income earned through digital platforms, aligned with DAC7/OECD rules and automatic information exchange.
- A 5% preferential tax rate would apply to eligible sellers, with higher income taxed at standard rates; goods sales via platforms would be exempt up to EUR 2,000 per year.
- Platform operators would act as tax agents, handling withholding, remittance, annual reporting, seller due diligence, and registration with tax authorities.
- To qualify, sellers must be Ukrainian tax residents, use designated bank accounts, and not employ staff; certain FOPs can use the 5% rate only if platform activity differs from their registered business.
- The law includes penalties for non-compliance and also clarifies that platform relationships for personal services are not considered employment if the operator is registered.
