				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Ukrainian Representative Office is legally entitled to evolve in commercial activities like any other legal entity. This situation is very different to the Russian strict practice. However, the RepOffice’s activities are very narrow. The scope of allowed business activities is defined prior to the registration.</p>
<p>Should you choose to set up a Ukrainian Representative Office of your own, push the button below and proceed to the online company registration form. You will get a free consultation upon submitting your data. And yes, it is FREE.</p>
<p>During the registration process of <a title="click to get prices and conditions on setting up a Ukrainian Representative Office." href="http://www.lobusch-consulting.com/en/repoffice/">Representative Offices</a> in Ukraine we&#8217;ve been asked the following question by our clients :</p>
<p><em>- If the Ukrainian <a title="click to get prices and conditions on setting up a Ukrainian Representative Office." href="http://www.lobusch-consulting.com/en/repoffice/">Representative Office</a> is not having a status of an own legal entity, how can it then enter into agreements in its own name: working agreements? rent agreements? open bank accounts etc.?</em></p>
<p>We have answered the question commonly with the following:</p>
<p>-IN GENERAL: The legal form of a <a title="click to get prices and conditions on setting up a Ukrainian Representative Office." href="http://www.lobusch-consulting.com/en/repoffice/">Representative Office</a> is commonly used by non-Ukrainian companies for carrying out marketing, promotional and other auxiliary and preparatory activities on their behalf. Legally spoken, a Representative Office is an affiliate (a part) of the non- Ukrainian company. However, considering operational activities, it is handled by the Ukrainian executives practically as a separate legal entity. It pays taxes on profit and added value like any other company in Ukraine.</p>
<div></div>
<div>-IN PARTICULAR: <a title="click to get prices and conditions on setting up a Ukrainian Representative Office." href="http://www.lobusch-consulting.com/en/repoffice/">RepOffice</a> is considered by the tax authority and the social security offices as a separate legal entity, which is naturally restricted to the purely Ukrainian content of activities, leges specialis apply. Ukrainian civil (commercial) courts would however consider a Repoffice as an affiliate, general civil legislation applies.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Taxation:</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>RepOffices pay taxes on profit and added value like any other company in Ukraine. Currently (as of April 2012), it is 21% on profit, which is going to be gradually reduced to 19% on January 1, 2013 and to 16% on January 1, 2014. Value Added Tax is 20%. Please see our <a title="Profit Taxation in Ukraine. 2012" href="../../wordpress/profit-taxation-in-ukraine-2012/" target="_blank">article on the Taxation Basics for Ukraine</a>.</p>
