To share
New amendment to the Tax Code of Ukraine entered into force on July 1, 2019.
There are two formulas for calculating customs payment:
- For shipments with total invoice value above 100 EUR but below 150 EUR (customs duty is not calculated; VAT rate is 20% of the sum exceeding 100 EUR):
Example 1: $130 Calvin Klein Shoes
Value of the goods: $130 (115EUR)
Customs duty: N/A
VAT: (115EUR-100EUR) * 20% = 3 EUR
Total payment: 3 EUR
- For shipments with total invoice value above 150EUR but below 10000EUR (customs duty rate is 10% of the sum exceeding 150EUR; VAT rate is 20% of the sum exceeding 100EUR and sum of the customs duty):
Example2: $600 iPhone
Value of the goods: $600 (530EUR)
Customs duty: (530EUR-150EUR) * 10% = 38 EUR
VAT: (530EUR-100EUR + 38EUR) * 20% = 93.6 EUR
Total customs fees: 131.6 EUR
- Payments must be paid in UAH according to the rate of the National Bank of Ukraine on the date of submission of customs declaration.
- All goods with value up to 100 EUR are not taxable.
