UA

Ukraine e-invoicing

Europe non-EU · CTC registration (ERPN); SAF-T on request

SAF-T UA 2.0 (Nov 2024) trimmed the XML structure and aligned it with national accounting standards – the file carries accounting policies, coded transactions and source-document data. The 1 Jan 2027 extension to all taxpayers is the date to plan for; a full B2B e-invoicing mandate remains a matter of announced intent rather than enacted law, per the sources read.

SAF-T UA for all VAT payers 1 Jan 2027

Does this apply to me?

Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.

Roughly how big is the business?

Is your business established in Ukraine – a company, branch, or fixed establishment there?

Not in scope for Ukraine

With no establishment and no Ukrainian VAT registration, the ERPN and SAF-T do not reach you – imports are documented on the buyer's side. Revisit if you set up locally or start selling digital services into Ukraine (a declaration-based regime, without ERPN duties per the sources read).

Registered without establishment – declarations, not ERPN

Ukraine's VAT registration for non-resident digital-service providers runs on simplified declarations without ERPN tax-invoice registration, per the sources read. A local establishment or full VAT registration is a different position – ERPN duties attach there, and SAF-T follows the taxpayer categories. Confirm which regime you are in before relying on an exemption.

In scope – SAF-T reaches you 1 Jan 2027

ERPN registration of VAT tax invoices already applies to you like any VAT payer. The date to plan for is 1 Jan 2027, when SAF-T UA extends to all taxpayers – start mapping your accounting data to the XML structure now, because the two-business-day response window leaves no room to build the file after the request arrives.

In scope – ERPN now, SAF-T already yours

Your VAT tax invoices register electronically in the ERPN with qualified signatures – a registration failure blocks your customer's VAT credit. As a large taxpayer (income above UAH 500 million) you have also been in SAF-T UA since 1 Jan 2025: the file is due within two business days of a request, so it has to be generatable on demand, not assembled when asked. SAF-T UA 2.0 is the current structure.

Scope

Ukraine's VAT tax invoices (podatkova nakladna) must be issued and registered electronically in the Unified Register (ERPN) with qualified signatures – a long-standing CTC layer – but there is no general B2B e-invoice exchange mandate. SAF-T UA is the current rollout: mandatory for large taxpayers (income above UAH 500 million) since 1 Jan 2025 and for all taxpayers from 1 Jan 2027, submitted within two business days of a tax authority request.

Penalties & grace period

Registration failures block the buyer's VAT credit under the ERPN rules; SAF-T non-submission draws penalties under the Tax Code – amounts not extracted in the sources read.
