Preparation
and submission
of CFC reporting

In 2024, businesses submitted full and abbreviated CFC reports. For those entrepreneurs who have submitted a full report, the State Tax Service does not require anything additional. The only thing required is to monitor whether the report has been accepted. If you are one of those entrepreneurs who submitted a shortened report, you must submit a full CFC report by 31.12.2024. You can read more about why you should submit them in our article. CFC reporting is not a simple submission of an annual declaration but a complex, multi-level financial report (or zero if the company did not conduct any activity) on the financial results of your Controlled Foreign Company.

How do you prepare for CFC reporting in 2024?

So many questions, but so little information from the web? Here is the answer and a list of what you will need to prepare the CFC report:

• The deadlines are burning like Katsap tanks, which means that according to Art. 39-2.5.2. of the Tax Code of Ukraine, you must quickly order duly certified financial statements for your CFC(s) to be on time.
• If you have old CFCs (those registered before 2022 and are still active), it’s time to remember about them and order comprehensive financial statements for them as well.
• Suppose you have inactive CFCs (those you do not use and do not have any financial movements, but they exist on paper and in the register). In that case, it is the best time to apply for their liquidation and reduce the amount of reporting in the future.

What period should I submit a report to the CFC?

The first reporting (tax) year for the Report is 2022. If you registered a company in 2023, this also means that in 2024, you must submit the CFC Report simultaneously with submitting an annual income tax return or a corporate income tax return.

CFC reporting 2025

Those who register a company in 2024 must submit CFC reports in 2025. This is an important aspect to consider when planning your business activities. Given that the CFC reporting includes detailed information on the financial results of the Controlled Foreign Company, preparation for this process requires considerable time and attention.

What form of Report should my CFC submit?

As of June 13, 2024 (before the entry into force of the draft law No. 8137), the legislation provides for two forms of the Report: full and abbreviated. 

• Who submits an abbreviated CFC report?

The abbreviated form of the Report is submitted when the controlling person is unable to ensure the preparation of financial statements of the controlled foreign company and/or calculation of the adjusted profit of the controlled foreign company by the deadline for submission of the annual declaration of property and income or corporate income tax return.

• Who submits the full CFC report?

This form differs from the abbreviated form not only in size – it consists of more than 30 items. It also differs from the abbreviated form in size- consisting of 30 items – and the information to be provided in this Report. In the full Report, it is necessary to correctly determine what type of control, type, and ownership structure of the CFC corresponds to your case. If the draft law No. 8137 is adopted, only the complete form of the Report will be available.
