  • The object of taxation includes operations of taxpayers with goods and services located on 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 there are no longer economic benefits from their use
  • Taxpayers must calculate tax liabilities based on the taxable base and register them in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices
  • If fixed assets are liquidated at the taxpayer’s discretion, it is considered a supply of such assets at market prices, but not lower than the balance value at the time of liquidation
