Obtaining an tax identification code (Tax ID) for a foreigner (non-resident)

Citizens of Ukraine, as well as foreign citizens and stateless persons who are on the territory of Ukraine (permanently residing or temporarily staying) are required to have an identification tax code (card of an individual payer of taxes of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine) if they plan to purchase any real estate, company registration , opening accounts, purchasing significant amounts, paying taxes, receiving loans or income (you do not need to receive WESTERN UNION or MONET GRAMM). The receipt of the code does not entail the accrual of taxes or payments. Also, there are no age restrictions for obtaining a code.

Ukrainian law provides for the possibility to officially refuse to receive a code because of their religious beliefs. However, it is still necessary to contact the fiscal authorities with a corresponding statement.
