- Ukraine’s DPS clarified that for used goods bought from non-VAT-registered sellers, VAT applies only to the positive margin: selling price minus purchase price.
- “Used goods” must generally have been in use for at least one year and be suitable for further use; special rules apply to vehicles.
- VAT liability follows the standard first-event rule: shipment date or payment receipt date, whichever comes first.
- To use the margin method, businesses must prove the goods are used and were bought from a non-VAT taxpayer through proper documents.
- Without sufficient evidence, tax authorities may treat the goods as new and charge VAT on the full sale price.
