UA

Ukraine e-invoicing

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

Last updated September 21, 2026

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. Extending it to all taxpayers is a 2027 goal in the National Revenue Strategy to 2030, but Draft Law No. 6255 was withdrawn on 17 July 2025 and no replacement bill is before the Verkhovna Rada – so there is no legal date. A full B2B e-invoicing mandate likewise remains announced intent rather than law.

Next phase deadline

SAF-T UA for all VAT payers – draft, no date

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).

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. 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 – ERPN now; SAF-T extension not yet law

ERPN registration of VAT tax invoices already applies to you like any VAT payer. Extending SAF-T UA to all taxpayers is a 2027 goal in the National Revenue Strategy, but the bill that carried it (No. 6255) was withdrawn in July 2025, so there is no legal date. Mapping your accounting data to the SAF-T UA 2.0 structure early is still worth it: the two-business-day response window leaves no room to build the file after a 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 are already exposed to SAF-T UA: the STS can request the file during a documentary audit, due within two business days, so it has to be generatable on demand, not assembled when asked. SAF-T UA 2.0 is the current structure.

Phases & who's affected when

A single date hides the rollout. Here's the full sequence.

2011–2015

VAT payers

Mandatory electronic registration of VAT invoices in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices (ERPN) phased in for all VAT payers.

Done

Current position

Large taxpayers

SAF-T UA on request for large taxpayers (income above UAH 500 million): the STS can request the file during a documentary audit, due within two business days, using the SAF-T UA 2.0 structure.

Done

2027 (goal)

All taxpayers

The National Revenue Strategy to 2030 targets extending SAF-T UA to all taxpayers in 2027. The bill that carried it (Draft Law No. 6255) was withdrawn in July 2025, so there is no legal commencement date.

STATUS

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 applies on request to large taxpayers (income above UAH 500 million), submitted within two business days of a tax authority request; extending it to all taxpayers is a goal, not law.

Penalties & grace period

Registration failures block the buyer's VAT credit under the ERPN rules; SAF-T non-submission draws general Tax Code penalties – confirm current amounts with the State Tax Service.
