Tax implications of writing off intangible assets with VAT

  • When disposing of an intangible asset due to the inability to obtain future economic benefits from its use, a VAT payer must accrue compensating tax liabilities with VAT.
  • According to the National Accounting Standard 8, an intangible asset is a non-monetary asset that can be identified and has no physical form.
  • The Tax Code of Ukraine specifies that taxable operations include the supply of goods and services within the customs territory of Ukraine.
  • Goods are defined as material and intangible assets used in any operations, except for issuance and redemption operations.
  • Intangible assets are written off the balance sheet when they are disposed of due to free transfer or the inability to obtain future economic benefits.
  • Taxpayers are required to accrue tax liabilities based on the taxable base and register them in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices.
  • The liquidation of assets by a taxpayer is considered a supply of assets at market prices, not lower than the balance value at the time of liquidation.
  • Therefore, when disposing of an intangible asset due to the inability to obtain future economic benefits, the taxpayer must comply with the provisions of the Tax Code and accrue tax liabilities.
