Consulting on the impact of taxes and currency control

 

Doing business between Ukraine and the United Kingdom opens up new opportunities, but also requires special caution in matters of tax planning and currency regulation. Mistakes in these areas can lead to fines, account blocking, or violations of the currency and tax laws of both countries.

Consultant Law Firm provides comprehensive advice to individuals and legal entities on the impact of tax obligations, tax residency, currency control, reporting and income structuring. We help Ukrainian entrepreneurs and investors to work safely with British partners, open accounts and avoid the risks of double taxation.

Main topics covered by the consultation

 

Each case is unique, but most often our clients come to us with typical questions about taxation, currency restrictions and legal cross-border activities. Our lawyers help you understand and correctly apply the rules to avoid financial mistakes.

The consultation covers the following issues:

  1. Tax status of an individual: Ukraine or the UK?
  2. What taxes arise when dividends are withdrawn from a UK company to Ukraine?
  3. In what cases is it necessary to report on a controlled foreign company (CFC)?
  4. How to avoid double taxation (according to the UK-UA convention)?
  5. When is it necessary to register a currency transaction with the NBU?
  6. How to legally transfer investments from Ukraine to the UK?

After the consultation, you will receive not general information, but a personalised tax and currency strategy tailored to your business model.

How currency control works in Ukraine when interacting with companies from the UK

 

When conducting cross-border transactions, Ukrainian residents are faced with the need to comply with currency legislation, including reporting, confirmation of sources of funds and registration of contracts. To avoid delays and misunderstandings with banks or tax authorities, it is worth knowing in advance what documents will be required.

List of key aspects that we explain during the consultation:

  • Requirements for contracts with foreign partners (what conditions the bank pays attention to).
  • Verification of currency sources for transactions within the framework of banking compliance.
  • Deadlines for returning foreign currency proceeds and the consequences of non-compliance.
  • Possibilities for settlements with non-residents and repatriation of income.
  • Restrictions on the transfer of dividends and investment abroad.
  • Currency transactions involving CFCs — how to act without violations.

We do not just advise — we accompany every step of your cross-border activity.

Preparation of documents for banking and tax compliance

 

Banks and tax authorities in both Ukraine and the United Kingdom pay great attention to the transparency of sources of funds, capital movements and the compliance of transactions with tax legislation. Therefore, it is important not only to know the legal requirements, but also to have a correctly prepared set of documents confirming the legality of transactions.

We help clients put together a complete set of documents suitable for bank monitoring, tax audits or cross-border payments.

This package usually includes:

  1. Contracts with foreign partners (in accordance with currency legislation requirements).
  2. Invoices and certificates of completion.
  3. Documents confirming payment or receipt of funds (SWIFT, bank statements).
  4. Explanation of the source of funds (personal investments, company profits, dividends, etc.).
  5. Confirmation of tax residency (if a certificate of residency in another country is submitted).
  6. Information for declaring CFCs, if applicable to a Ukrainian tax resident.

After consultation, the client receives recommendations on the structure of the documentation, templates and explanations on how to correctly submit documents to the relevant authorities. This allows you to avoid unforeseen blocking of funds or additional charges.

Frequently asked questions about tax and currency control consulting

Yes, but in compliance with currency legislation. Depending on the type of account, you may need to notify the tax authorities.

What are the risks of not declaring CFCs?

There may be fines, additional tax charges and problems with withdrawing funds.

Yes, if applied correctly — we analyse how best to use the provisions of this agreement.

Получила очень четкое объяснение, как совмещать деятельность в Великобритании с украинским резидентством. Помогли избежать ошибок с валютными переводами.

Консультація була детальна, але хотілося б трохи більше прикладів щодо валютного контролю. Проте всі ризики пояснили добре, і я зміг відкоригувати структуру компанії.

Олександр Тихонов

Звертався через сумніви щодо оподаткування дивідендів. Отримав конкретні розрахунки, шаблони і зрозумілий план дій. Працювати стало набагато спокійніше.

The questions concerned tax residency and the transfer of profits from the UK to Ukraine. The consultant explained everything — even things I hadn't thought of. Very professional.

Ігор Костів

Було складно зняти кошти без блокування в банку. Отримав консультацію, підготували всі документи — і зняв без питань. Мінус зірка тільки за те, що чекали день на призначення дзвінка.

ЛГ
Леся Гнатенко

Дізналась усе про валютні обмеження для резидентів і як краще планувати виплати з-за кордону. Все пояснили просто, доступно. Рекомендую тим, хто боїться податкових непорозумінь.
