WHY CHOOSE US

Do you conduct business outside of Ukraine? If so, you need to look into the regulations regarding Controlled Foreign Companies (CFCs). Registering a company in Spain or other jurisdictions undoubtedly opens new opportunities for growth and development. However, this legal action also brings new obligations in Ukraine—specifically, the requirement to prepare and submit a CFC Notification and a CFC Report

  • Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC)

    GENERAL INFORMATION

    A Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) is a legal entity registered in a foreign state or territory that is recognized as being under the control of an individual or legal entity that is a tax resident of Ukraine (the controlling person)
    +
  • HOW TO DETERMINE CONTROLLING PERSON STATUS?

    To determine the status of a controlling person, one should follow the requirements of the CFC Law:
    1. A share in the capital of a foreign company of 50% or more
    2. A combined ownership by Ukrainian residents of 50% or more (provided that each resident holds more than 10%)
    3. Effective control over a foreign company
    +
  • WHY IS CFC IMPORTANT?

    In an environment of global changes and stricter tax controls, the correct documentation and timely filing of CFC reports help avoid penalties and tax risks. Our international taxation experts will guide you through this complex process

  • WHAT WE OFFER

    Our services include:
    1. Full diagnostics and consultation: determining whether your companies meet the CFC criteria

    3. Preparation and submission of CFC Notifications and annual reports
    4. Continuous monitoring of legislative changes
    5. Guaranteed accuracy and compliance with the requirements of the Tax Code of Ukraine
    +
  • WHY YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE CFC REPORTING?

    Penalties are provided for failure to file or late filing of the CFC Report.
    However, according to Law No. 4113-IX, penalties do not apply to violations committed during the period of martial law, provided the controlling person fulfills their obligations within 6 months of its termination.
    This is only a deferral of sanctions, so it is crucial to prepare in advance.

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.

Відгук щодо компанії UCBI
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.

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.

An excellent experience: a high-quality approach from the very first contact and through to the post-consultation support. A special thank you to Tetiana Lysenko for her expert answers and practical advice. I highly recommend their services!
