What is a CFC and who is required to file reports on controlled foreign companies?

A controlled foreign company (CFC) is a legal entity or other entity registered outside Ukraine that is controlled by a tax resident of Ukraine. According to the Tax Code of Ukraine, reporting on CFCs is required to be submitted by all controllers who:
  • directly or indirectly own more than 50% of a foreign company;
  • have from 10% (from 2023), if the total share of all residents of Ukraine exceeds 50%;
  • exercise actual control over the company (manage, sign contracts, have access to bank accounts).
Filing of CFC reporting in Ukraine is mandatory for both active and "dormant" companies, unless they are officially liquidated.

When to file CFC reports in 2025?

Deadlines for submitting reports on controlled foreign companies in Ukraine:
  • Individuals - by May 1, together with a declaration of property status and income.
  • Legal entities - by March 1, together with a corporate income tax declaration.
The law requires reporting on the acquisition or loss of control over a CFC within 60 days.

What documents are required for filing CFC reports in Ukraine?

The package of documents includes:
  • financial statements of the CFC according to IFRS or standards of the country of registration;
  • calculation of adjusted profit;
  • information on dividends, passive income, transactions with representative offices in Ukraine;
  • confirmation of tax payment abroad (for applying benefits);
  • audit report (in certain cases);
  • certified translations of documents in a foreign language.
All CFC reporting is submitted electronically from the CEP through the Taxpayer's Electronic Cabinet.

What is the tax rate on CFC and can double taxation be avoided?

The tax rate for controlled foreign companies in Ukraine is 18% of adjusted profit. Reduced rates are available for individuals — 5% or 9% depending on the type of income, plus a military levy of 1.5%.
Exemption from taxation of CFC is possible if:
  • the company's annual income is less than 2 million UAH;
  • tax is paid in the country of registration at an effective rate of 13%;
  • passive income is less than 50% of the total;
  • the company is public, charitable or trust without income distribution.

What is the liability for failure to report on CFC?

  • 302,800 UAH (100 PM) — for failure to submit a report;
  • 151,400 UAH (50 PM) — for failure to submit a notification about the CFC;
  • 30,280 UAH — for understating profit;
  • 3% of the adjusted profit — for intentionally submitting false data.
During martial law, fines for late payment do not apply, but the obligation to submit a report remains.
