The American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, jointly with a member company ADER HABER Law Firm, is glad to invite you to the upcoming Knowledge Webinar "Withholding Tax and Protection of Benefits under International Tax Treaties. Part Two". The link to the webinar will be sent only to the registered participants.
The application of reduced tax rates under double taxation treaties, the determination of a non-resident's permanent establishment, and the concept of beneficial ownership remain at the center of attention – in the second part of the webinar, we will revisit these topics from a different perspective.
This webinar is a follow-up to the session held on March 3, 2026.
During the previous session, we covered topical issues related to the application of reduced tax rates provided for in double taxation treaties, namely: the issue of permanent establishment of a non-resident in cases where activities in Ukraine are carried out through an authorized representative, the concept of beneficial ownership of income paid to a non-resident, and practical recommendations for protecting the interests of Ukrainian companies.
In the second part, we will examine situations where the tax authority proves that a non-resident recipient of income from Ukraine acts as a conduit company without the right to determine the use of such income, and how the concept of look-through taxation applies in such cases, including for periods prior to the introduction of the relevant amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine.
We will also address the issue of non-resident's permanent establishment in Ukraine through the lens of its management from Ukraine, particularly in cases where such management is exercised by a controlling person who is a tax resident of Ukraine.
In addition, we will analyze approaches to defending taxpayers in criminal proceedings related to tax evasion.
