The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine has also published a Draft Order "On Approval of the Procedure for Electronic Identification of Non-Resident Suppliers of Electronic Services" on the official web-portal of the State Tax Service. It sets out the framework for VAT reporting and compliance electronic portal, through which all communication between non-residents and tax authorities will be done.

In particular, first identification of a non-resident will be made upon registration as a VAT payer in the special electronic cabinet through the Unified State Portal of Electronic Services “Diia Portal” (the Cabinet) by entering the following data: registration in the home country, identification data, data on the representative, e-mail, website and domain name of a non-resident entity.
Within 180 days after registration, the non-resident must file a written or electronic confirmation of the provided information in the form of an official letter.

The Cabinet will allow the taxpayers to perform the following actions for VAT compliance purposes:

• register online and review all relevant information published by the tax authorities;
• file VAT returns and submit them to the tax authorities;
• access requisites of the currency bank account in the Treasury of Ukraine on which VAT liabilities should be paid;
• review the reporting forms and other supplementary information;
• submit appeals to tax notifications-decisions issued by the tax authorities;
• carry on other correspondence with tax authorities.

The Cabinet is also supposed to operate online without specific applications and to interact with other systems used by the tax authorities. It is expected to be both in Ukrainian and English.
