In particular, Iryna paid attention to the new rules of taxation for non-residents, which made the presence of the latter in Ukraine much more difficult without a permanent establishment. Thus, among the сhanges the non-residents should already take into account – a) from July 1, 2021, tax audits of non-residents conducting their commercial activities through permanent establishments in Ukraine will be allowed for carrying out; b) by January 1, 2021, non-residents operating in Ukraine, including through permanent establishments, are obliged to register in Ukrainian tax authorities.
