How to Carry Out Tax-Free Liquidation of Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC) in Accordance with the Procedure?
Controlled foreign companies can be liquidated without paying taxes based on Law No. 466 of the Tax Code of Ukraine from January 2020. The changes introduced in this law allow the liquidation of offshore companies without tax obligations. Crystal Tax provides services for the liquidation procedure of CFCs registered in any jurisdiction.
Procedure Specifics: How Does Tax-Free Liquidation of CFC Work?
Before 2020, according to legislation, it was required to pay 18 or 9% personal income tax (PIT) when liquidating an offshore company. The changes exempted from this tax, leaving only a 1.5% military fee on undeclared income.
The tax-free liquidation of CFC is based on an application for exemption from income received outside Ukraine, which is submitted together with the tax return. You can refer to subparagraph 170.131 of the Tax Code of Ukraine, which exempts from taxes on income received from a foreign production entity during its liquidation.
The procedure is conducted in two ways:
- voluntary tax-free liquidation of the company;
- re-registration of a foreign company into a Ukrainian one.
In the second option, you should move the controlling body to Ukraine. Taxes received abroad are also not subject to taxation.
