Do I need to make a change in the charter of the legal address or not? If you are not interested in reading this article, we will immediately answer that “Yes” (if the location of your company is indicated in this document) and “No” (if not indicated). But, it is worthwhile to understand in more detail this issue in order not to make mistakes when registering, buying, selling a company. When a person decides to set up his business, he thinks that he will have to dig in a pile of waste paper, which is difficult to dig out and all the more, submit it to the district state administration, fiscal service, licensing authorities and so on. In fact, everything is quite simple. Documents are drawn up by a lawyer and a notary, and if they say that you yourself must organize it, look for other specialists, fortunately, there are enough of them on the market. But, company registration is another topic that we will not touch on today. Let’s take a closer look at the main agenda.

Due to confusion in Ukrainian legislation, entrepreneurs often began to ask: “What is the actual address”. Naturally, we now mean the location of the company. The answer seems simple: “The office where the administration works,” that is, the director, accountant, and other responsible employees. But the civil and tax codes say that in such an office should be the leadership of the company and it is here to carry out financial and economic activities. This means concluding agreements, preparing accounting documents, sending reports to the fiscal service.

Do I need a legal address for individual entrepreneurs in Ukraine, that is, for an IE? This question can be answered briefly – No! But still, it’s worth going a little deeper into this topic, as it has recently begun to gain momentum in connection with the situation in the Parliament of Ukraine.

Everyone who starts his own business, alone or with a partner, wonders how to buy a legal address. There are many answers, but not all of them are true. First, you need to determine what type of financial and economic activity you plan to engage in. This determines the further choice of the location of the enterprise and the quality of service that will help to obtain a certificate of value added taxpayer, license, and other permits. Accordingly, the price from which you can build on it will immediately become known. We warn that quality cost’s money, not very large, but still!

When a small or large entrepreneur decides to change the legal address, the question immediately arises of the proper preparation of all necessary documents. Naturally, these questions should be addressed by experienced and verified lawyers who have tremendous experience in a particular segment, since in Ukraine the legislation in this field constantly changes with the frequency of change of the ruling elites, which leads to a shift of personnel in regulatory bodies, in particular the fiscal service. As we all know from our bitter experience: “A new broom sweeps in a new way”, especially if the broom has got to the leading position of the tax administration not affordably, but affordably. And we remember that such officials do not know how to catch malicious non-payers of VAT, other fees, and only know how to create problems for entrepreneurs in the form of rejection of invoices claiming that they have something in common there or that the businessman has a bad location on the map of Kyiv. If the director of the company lowers his head following the case of a corrupt official, then most likely such an enterprise will not last long. This article is specifically for such merchants.

When opening a new or another business for trade in goods or for the organization of import, export, each entrepreneur thinks about acquiring a legal address, to which it makes great demands. Particularly acute this question arises in the capital of Ukraine, and even more acute in its central part, since in Pechersk, Shevchenko, Galaseyevsky, Podolsky districts of Kyiv, direct rent or sublease of the premises is quite expensive. First, beginners feel it. But before you register a company in an office center, you need to find out the conditions for cooperation other than postal service.

Every entrepreneur, his director, accountant and legal person asks: “Changing the legal address of the tax consequences”. Indeed, when an enterprise moves to a new location, difficulties may arise with the fiscal service of Ukraine, namely, an unscheduled audit of financial and economic activity can begin. But it is worth noting that officials are obliged to resort to such actions only in the event that you change the territorial affiliation of your company. That is, the office is relocated from one area to another, for example, from Pechersk to Goloseevsky or in general to another city or region.

The realities of Ukrainian business are such that they often have to interact with government agencies on any, even minor issues. And even though now the twenty-first century is in the courtyard, and we live in the era of Internet technologies, the tradition of ink writing still remains. This means you need to conduct official correspondence through paper mail, which takes a lot of effort, time and to some extent the money spent not only on the purchase of stamps, envelopes, paper, but also on the office.

The legal address of the LLC is the front office, where the relationship with government agencies, with the fiscal service, which in turn defines this term, as – the tax address. This service is massively distributed in Kyiv and Kyiv region this is due to the fact that it is in the central region of the country that all Ukrainian business is concentrated, from small to giant corporations owned by oligarchs.

You, probably, have already heard that if the legal and actual address do not match, there are serious consequences for the company in the form of blocking tax reports, after which the company is easier to quit than to restore high-quality financial and economic activities. Somewhere, this is true, but to preempt this kind of problems, it is worthwhile to seriously search for a good business center, which, at least, is not enough for such a volume of enterprises.
