Tax Consulting for Export and Import Operations

In the world of global trade, export and import operations are an integral part of doing business. However, they are often accompanied by tax challenges such as customs duty calculations, applying tax rates, document processing, and avoiding double taxation. The Ukrainian Law and Real Estate Association “AROU” offers professional tax consulting for your business so you can avoid risks and optimize costs.

Why Tax Consulting Is Important for International Trade

Export and import activities are subject not only to national but also to international laws. Failure to meet tax requirements can lead to heavy fines, goods being frozen at customs, or even the blocking of financial transactions.

• Proper VAT calculation

  • Applying zero VAT rate on exports

  • Determining VAT refund amounts for imports

• Customs clearance

  • Calculating customs duties and excise taxes

  • Preparing documents for customs declarations

• Application of international agreements

  • Using double taxation avoidance treaties

  • Adapting to the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) requirements
