Preparation and confirmation of the report on compliance with the status of a Resident of Diya.City
Diya.City is a special legal regime for companies in Ukraine, which provides favorable tax conditions, a simplified structure of interaction with specialists, flexible regulation of corporate relations and other benefits. However, to maintain the status of a Resident of Diya.City, companies are required to annually confirm their compliance with the requirements of this regime, in particular, to submit a report. This document is key in confirming the right to remain a resident and continue to enjoy tax and legal benefits. An incorrectly compiled or untimely submitted report can lead to loss of status, so legal support in this procedure is extremely important.
Legal stages of preparing and confirming a report for Diya.City
The process of preparing a report on compliance with the Diya.City resident status includes a number of clear legal steps:
- Initial analysis of the company's compliance with the criteria: checking key indicators: revenue volume, structure of cooperation with specialists (gig contracts or employment contracts), number of employees, average salary and main types of activities.
- Audit of internal documents and contracts: analysis of corporate documentation, labor/civil law agreements, personnel policy, availability of IP documents to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.
- Collection and systematization of information for the report: this includes financial, personnel and legal data, as well as a package of documents: staffing, copies of contracts, payments, reports, etc.
- Preparation and submission of the report. The document is drawn up in the established form, taking into account all criteria. If necessary, additional explanations or cover letters are added. After that, the report is sent to the Ministry of Digital Transformation via electronic services.
Completing each of these stages ensures the correct execution of the report, minimizes the risks of errors and allows the company to confidently confirm its status in Diya.City.
Terms of providing the service for preparing a Diya.City resident report
The main prerequisites for high-quality legal support:
- The company is an official Diya.City resident: the service is relevant for companies included in the Diya.City Resident Register, which are obliged to confirm compliance annually.
- Availability of access to corporate, personnel and financial information: the lawyer needs open information on the company's structure, types of activities, interaction with employees and contractors.
- The company's willingness to follow the lawyer's recommendations: if inconsistencies are identified during the process, the client must be ready to make adjustments to the documents, structure or personnel policy to achieve compliance.
