Documentation for international
groups (Notification, Master File,
Country-by-Country Report)

The transfer pricing policy may include the development of Three-Level Documentation for international groups of companies, which became mandatory in Ukraine from the 2020 reporting year after the relevant changes were made to the Tax Code of Ukraine: 

– Local File (TP Documentation for Ukraine),

– Master File (Global TP Documentation), 

– Country-by-Country Report (CbCR).

The structure of TP reporting for participants of international groups is as follows: 

Along with the Report on Controlled Transactions, companies must submit a Notification of Participation in an International Group of Companies (IGC) in electronic form per the form approved by the Ministry of Finance no later than October, 1 of the year following the reporting year.

Failure to submit a Notification of participation in an IGC or provision of inaccurate information therein is subject to a fine of 50 subsistence minimums for an able-bodied person (SMAP). The fine amount for the 2024 reporting year is UAH 3,028 x 50 = UAH 151,400.

If a Ukrainian company is part of an international group of companies whose total consolidated income for the year preceding the reporting year is equal to or exceeds EUR 50 million, the company is obliged to provide Global Documentation (Master File) at the request of the State Tax Service of Ukraine.

Failure to submit the Master File is subject to a fine of 300 SMAP, i.e., for the 2024 reporting year, the penalty is UAH 3,028 x 300 = UAH 908,400.

If a Ukrainian company is part of an international group whose aggregate consolidated revenue for the year preceding the reporting year is equal to or exceeds EUR 750 million, the company must submit a Country-by-Country Report (CbCR). This is the reporting of a transnational group of companies, which discloses information about the results of its activities in all countries where it operates.

Failure to submit the CbCR is subject to the most significant penalty: 1,000 SMAP; for the 2024 reporting year, it is UAH 3,028,000. The application of sanctions for non-submission of the Country-by-Country Report has already become possible because on November 3, 2022, Ukraine joined the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports, or CbC Multilateral Agreement.
