  • payables for which the limitation period has expired;
  • cost of goods (works, services) received free of charge during the reporting period;

.

Income does not include:

  • passive income in the form of interest, dividends, royalties, insurance payments and reimbursements;
  • Income received from the sale of movable and immovable property that belongs by right of ownership to an individual and is used in his/her economic activities.

.

Accounting and reporting procedures:

After going through the Registration of SPD procedure, all entrepreneurs are required to keep a "Book of Income". Entries in the book are made daily (all daily revenue is entered), if there is daily activity. If the activity is not regular, the entry is made on days when there is revenue.

VAT entrepreneurs must keep a "Book of income and expenses" in which all expenses and income are recorded daily.

Entrepreneurs who pay a single tax are exempt from paying:
a) personal income tax on those types of income received from business activities and on which the single tax has been paid;
b) VAT on all types of activities (except for SPDs who voluntarily registered as VAT payers);
c) land tax on land plots used for business activities;
d) levy for the development of horticulture, viticulture and hop growing.

Entrepreneurs who are on the 1st and 2nd group and do not have employees may not pay the single tax:
- for the period of annual vacation (not more than one calendar month per year);
- for the entire period of illness, if the illness lasts thirty days or more.
The single tax that was paid for these periods can be credited against future tax payments.

In addition, a penalty is accrued on the amount of non-payment. The penalty is accrued on the amount of tax and on the amount of penalties. Accordingly, if SPD FO-P must pay 243.6 UAH of tax, then on the 21st day he must pay a penalty in the amount of 121.8 UAH and a penalty for one day of delay. Accrual of the penalty ends on the day of repayment of the tax liability. The penalty is charged at the rate of 120% per annum (Art. 129 of the TCU).

1. Exemption from single tax for the period of vacation is applicable only to taxpayers of the first and second groups who do not use the labor of hired employees.
2. It is possible not to pay single tax not more than once a year and exactly for a calendar month. It is not possible to get tax exemption for vacations from one month to another, for example, from May 20 to June 19. Only from the 1st to the last day of the month.
3. For exemption, you should write to your tax office an application in free form (paragraph 298.3.2 of the Tax Code). The application should be submitted before the start of the vacation.
4. If you have already paid the unified tax for the month in which you are going on vacation in advance, this should be displayed in the application.
5. The law does not provide for exemption from the unified social tax for the period of vacation - you have to pay it.
6. Be careful: if during the vacation money is received on the account, this amount will have to be entered into the book of taxes and, accordingly, you will lose the right to exemption from payment.
