In their interactions with tax authorities, entrepreneurs and business representatives often face tax and levy assessments, penalties, or other sanctions that can significantly impact an entity's financial stability. It is vital to remember: decisions made by regulatory bodies can and should be appealed using legal defense mechanisms

WHAT CAN BE APPEALED?
Appealing the decisions and actions of the State Tax Service (STS) is possible in two formats: administrative and judicial. According to the Tax Code of Ukraine, a taxpayer has the right to appeal:
Tax Assessment Notices (TANs) regarding the assessment of tax liabilities, fines, or penalties
Other STS decisions (e.g., refusal to register tax invoices, cancellation of VAT payer status, or being listed as a high-risk taxpayer)
Actions or omissions of STS officials (failure to respond to an inquiry, unsubstantiated requests for documents, or violations of audit procedures)
Tax audit results if they are found to be unlawful or unsubstantiated

PENALTIES AND CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYED APPEALS
If a Tax Assessment Notice (TAN) is not appealed in time, it becomes final and binding (agreed), and the taxpayer is obliged to pay the assessed amounts, fines, and penalties. In the event of non-payment, the State Tax Service (STS) may:
Seize funds from bank accounts
Place a lien (seizure) on assets/property
Initiate criminal proceedings for tax evasion

OUR APPROACH
The experts at UCBI’s Ukrainian office combine profound knowledge of tax legislation with extensive practical experience in dispute resolution. We help businesses defend their legal interests, ensure stability, and minimize financial losses
After five consultations with different firms, I went with UCBI for my visa — and it was the best choice I could have made. They didn't just deliver on the main service; they went above and beyond once I was in Spain. They guided me through opening my Spanish autónomo, helped with notary paperwork, and even managed situations that required action in Ukraine. Being able to solve Ukrainian legal matters while living in Spain was a game-changer. I'm fully satisfied with their professionalism and support.
Serhii B.
I am a practicing massage therapist and the founder of massage studios in Marbella. I work as an autónomo, and from the very beginning I knew I would need professional accounting support to ensure everything was handled correctly and without stress.
I turned to UCBI to register as an autónomo, and from the very first conversation it was clear that this was “my” team. Everything was clear, well-structured, and explained in my native language.
If you are self-employed in Spain, I sincerely recommend UCBI — with them, accounting stops being a headache.
Andrew K.
Qualified specialists and a very high level of service. With the support of UCBI, everything was completed within a short timeframe, and my involvement in the process was minimal.
I highly recommend them if you need to register as an autónomo and handle all related matters quickly.
Markiian H.
A professional team. They clearly explained everything regarding tax residency in relation to my personal situation and answered many additional questions, even beyond the scheduled time. I received sufficient information to make a well-considered decision.
I plan to continue using UCBI’s services.
Thank you!

I contacted UCBI for a consultation regarding migration. Thanks to their team, I managed to get my visa and set up my business (autónomo) in a short amount of time. I continue to receive excellent legal support from them on a regular basis.
If you need a reliable team of professionals, I highly recommend them.
