The easiest type of business to establish for both legal and tax purposes is sole proprietorship which is sufficient for most small business operations that many expats create. More complex and higher revenue businesses require to be registered as Limited Liability Companies or Corporations (there is little difference in Ukrainian law between the two).
The tax system in Ukraine is fairly complex but known for low tax rates. We can guide you through the system and provide you with the best legal structure for your company. We can also structure it so you pay the least amount in taxes legally possible. Rule of thumb is that 10% of your net income is paid in taxes, making it one of the lowest net income tax rates in the world.
