- According to the Civil Code of Ukraine, a commission agreement involves one party (the commission agent) acting on behalf of another party (the principal) to perform certain acts for a fee.
- The provision of commission services is considered a supply of services for which the commission agent receives a commission fee.
- The value of goods/services supplied within commission agreements is the basis for VAT taxation, as stated in the Tax Code of Ukraine.
- The registration of a person as a VAT payer is regulated by the Tax Code and the Regulation on the Registration of VAT Payers.
- If the total value of taxable operations exceeds 1,000,000 UAH within the last 12 months, a person is required to register as a VAT payer.
- Taxable operations include those subject to the standard VAT rate, zero rate, 7% rate, exempted, and temporarily exempted from VAT.
- The calculation of the total value of taxable operations should not include operations that are not subject to VAT.
- When calculating the total value of taxable operations within commission agreements, the value of goods/services supplied within these agreements and the commission fee received by the commission agent should be taken into account.
