VolyaTax is a boutique tax and accounting consultancy in Odesa, advising Ukrainian companies — from the newly registered sole proprietor to the established holding — and the foreign businesses and individuals who enter the Ukrainian market. Tax strategy and the full back office, practised under one roof, to a single standard: exact, composed, and without compromise.
The Practice
- Boutique by design — a short list of clients, each fully attended
- Strategy and execution under one roof — the adviser is also the bookkeeper
- Local mastery, international standards — IFRS and national alike
- Confidentiality assumed, never requested
Accounting, Back Office & Compliance
The everyday engine of the practice. We keep the books, run the payroll and file the returns — an in-house finance function without the in-house cost, or the in-house single point of failure. We do not disappear at year-end, on holiday, or on notice; the work continues, because the team does.
-
Bookkeeping & Outsourcing
Full bookkeeping from primary documents to ledgers and registers, on national standards or IFRS — including the restoration of neglected books and the drafting of an accounting policy.
-
Payroll & Personnel
Salary, the unified social contribution, personal income tax and the military levy — calculated, paid and reported; personnel records and contract arrangements kept in order.
-
Primary Documents & VAT Invoices
Invoices, delivery notes and acts issued and reconciled; VAT invoices registered in the Unified Register, and blocked invoices defended through the taxpayer data table.
-
The Electronic Cabinet
Day-to-day command of the taxpayer's electronic cabinet and document flow through Vchasno and M.E.Doc; the VAT registration limit watched, cash registers set up and fiscalised.
-
Reporting & Filings
Every return for every category of filer — single tax, corporate income, VAT, the unified payroll report — with financial and statistical statements, and a calendar that does not miss a date.
-
Management Reporting
Accounts in whatever form the boardroom requires; cash flow kept visible; the figures a decision actually turns on.
Tax Strategy & Planning
Capital is governed by rules; tax is the price of getting them wrong. We get them right — before the decision is taken, not after the notice arrives.
-
Planning & Structuring
Tax planning and structuring, domestic and cross-border, designed around the commercial aim rather than bolted on after it.
-
Choice of Form & Regime
The choice that governs all the rest — sole proprietor or company, single tax or the general system — modelled against the real burden.
-
Groups, Dividends & Repatriation
Group structuring, dividend planning and the orderly repatriation of profit.
-
Modelling & Reorganisation
Tax-burden simulation before the commitment is made; reorganisation, restructuring and pre-transaction review.
Cross-Border, CFC & Transfer Pricing
Tax does not stop at the border; it follows capital and people across it. We map the exposure before the first hryvnia moves — not after the first notice arrives.
-
Tax Residency
Residency settled on the statutory tests — the days, the centre of vital interests, the permanent home — and the certificate of tax-resident status procured.
-
Treaty Relief
Double-tax-treaty relief and foreign tax credit, so that the same income is not taxed twice.
-
Controlled Foreign Companies
CFC reporting, exemptions and strategy; foreign assets and foreign companies disclosed by plan, not under pressure.
-
Permanent Establishment
Permanent-establishment risk identified and defended, and the foreign income of Ukrainian residents brought correctly to account.
-
Inbound Structuring
The structuring of foreign capital entering Ukraine, coordinated with the client's home-country advisers.
-
Transfer Pricing
Controlled-transaction monitoring and documentation to the OECD Guidelines and the Tax Code — benchmarking, master and local files, Country-by-Country and the report on controlled transactions — with advance-pricing-agreement support and the defence of the method chosen.
Trade, Customs & Currency
Goods, money and revenue each cross the border on their own schedule, and the law on customs and currency governs every crossing. We keep all three in order.
-
Foreign-Economic Activity
Import and export accounting and tax treatment; VAT on imports and its interplay with customs value — with VolyaLaw on the customs file.
-
Currency Supervision
Compliance with Ukraine's currency-control regime: settlement deadlines observed and foreign-currency revenue declared on time.
-
Currency Residency
The correct resident or non-resident classification of foreigners holding a Ukrainian residence permit under currency law — a point the banks routinely mistake, and a matter of the house.
Foreigners, Relocation & Diia City
For the foreigner arriving in Ukraine we settle the tax position before the first notice arrives; for the technology business we choose the regime that pays.
-
Relocation Tax Onboarding
Tax onboarding for the new resident — the taxpayer number obtained, the days counted, the residency status documented from the outset.
-
Worldwide-Income Exposure
Worldwide-income exposure mapped and positioned under the treaties; foreign-asset and CFC disclosure planned in advance.
-
Sole Proprietorship as a Vehicle
Registration as a sole proprietor where it serves the move, with a Diia City eligibility check where the work fits.
-
Diia City
Eligibility assessed against the thresholds and the application filed; the regime modelled — the tax on distributed capital rather than ordinary corporate income tax, the reduced payroll rate, the social contribution at the minimum base — and the resident's accounting kept thereafter.
Tax Disputes & Controversy
We read the Tax Code the way the auditor will, and prepare accordingly. When the assessment comes, it is answered.
-
Audit Accompaniment
Pre-audit readiness and the accompaniment of State Tax Service inspections, from the first request to the final act.
-
Administrative Appeal
The administrative appeal of tax-assessment notices — the answer made before the matter ever reaches a court.
-
VAT & Invoice Disputes
Disputes over VAT credit and budget refund, the defence of transactions challenged as ‘fictitious’, and the release of blocked tax invoices.
-
Litigation & Penalties
Penalties mitigated, and litigation conducted with VolyaLaw where the matter must be tried.
Enquiries
Introductions are made by referral and by enquiry alike. Tell us the matter; we will tell you plainly whether it is one for us, and how we would proceed.
