Google Workspace and Hetzner Payments: VAT and Income Tax Implications

  • The article discusses whether payments to foreign companies for Google Workspace and Hetzner cloud/hosting services trigger Ukrainian corporate profit tax and VAT obligations.
  • DПС explains that cloud services and hosting can be treated either as rental-like services (e.g., dedicated servers) or as information services, depending on the exact nature of the service.
  • For payments that are only for access to a platform, server, or other cloud resource, DПС says these are compensation for services received from a nonresident and are not subject to the 15% withholding tax under p. 141.4.2 of the Tax Code.
  • The piece also addresses whether VAT tax liabilities and tax invoices must be recognized, and whether the key event is the invoice date or the payment date.
