27.11.2025 13:31:59 Так, Генеральне консульство України в Единбурзі може надати допомогу у отриманні або відновленні ідентифікаційного коду платника податків (ІПН) для громадян України, які проживають у Великій Британії. Для цього необхідно звернутися до консульства із відповідною заявою, надати документ, що посвідчує особу, а також інші документи, які можуть знадобитися для підтвердження особи та визнання втраченого ІПН. Консульство надсилає ваші документи до відповідних органів в Україні для оформлення або відновлення вашого коду. Рекомендується заздалегідь уточнити перелік необхідних документів та процедуру безпосередньо у консульстві.

27.11.2025 13:32:09 From a legal perspective, the Consulate General of Ukraine in Edinburgh, as a diplomatic mission, provides various services to Ukrainian citizens residing abroad under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and Ukrainian legislation. However, obtaining or restoring a Ukrainian tax identification code (Individual Taxpayer Number, or IPN) is primarily handled by the State Tax Service of Ukraine. The consulate may offer guidance, assist with document certification, or help facilitate communication with Ukrainian authorities, but it does not directly issue or restore tax codes. You would typically need to apply through the tax service, possibly remotely or via proxy if eligible under Ukrainian tax laws.

28.11.2025 10:44:22 The Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh can assist with matters related to obtaining or restoring a Ukrainian tax identification code (TIN), but the process is not completed entirely at the consulate. Ukrainian tax codes are issued exclusively by the State Tax Service of Ukraine. The consulate may accept your application, verify your identity, certify your signature, and forward the documents to the tax authorities in Ukraine on your behalf. You will typically need your passport, proof of previous tax code if available, and completed application forms. Processing times depend on the Ukrainian tax office, not the consulate. Once the code is issued, the document is sent back to the consulate for collection. Our service can help you prepare the application, translate documents, and ensure compliance with the tax authority’s requirements.

28.11.2025 10:55:14 Yes, the Consulate in Edinburgh can help you request a new or duplicate Ukrainian tax identification code, but they do not issue the code themselves. Their role is to accept your paperwork, confirm your identity, notarise your application if required, and forward the documents to the State Tax Service in Ukraine. The tax office in Ukraine then generates or restores your code and sends it back to the consulate. To apply, you usually need your Ukrainian passport, any old tax number documents if you have them, and the official application form. The consulate may also require a certified translation of foreign documents. Timing depends on processing in Ukraine, not the UK. We can support you by preparing the forms, ensuring the documents meet Ukrainian tax standards, and guiding you through collection once the code is ready.
