KPMG is at the forefront of an evolving tax landscape
As a leading tax network, we believe that we – as individual tax professionals and as member firms – have a duty to engage in the discussion and debate surrounding Tax Transparency and Responsibility. As the tax strategies of multinationals and domestic companies continue to be examined by both tax authorities and the public alike, we work with our clients to develop tax strategies that are fit for purpose in the tax system of tomorrow.
Working with clients to define the tax department of tomorrow. To keep pace with the reporting changes, multinational corporations will need to evaluate their in-house resources to determine if they will be able to manage additional requirements and responsibilities. They will also need to assess their systems to ensure that they can meet new requirements for multijurisdictional reporting.

KPMG’s Global Transfer Pricing Services (GTPS) practice helps companies develop and implement economically supportable transfer prices, document policies and outcomes and respond to tax authority challenges.
On 15 July 2015, the Law “On the Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine Regarding Transfer Pricing Improvements” № 609-VIII (hereinafter – Law 609) was passed by the Parliament of Ukraine. Please find below the key information regarding changes to the transfer pricing rules and their impact on the Ukrainian business. Discuss the Law online.
We help companies manage their transfer pricing risks by providing a range of consulting services, such as:
preparing transfer pricing documentation files;
preparing Reports on controlled transactions;
developing transfer pricing policies;
negotiating on Advance Pricing Agreements between taxpayers and the Ukrainian tax authorities.
What is the revised scope of controlled transactions?
The new transfer pricing rules slightly amend the scope of controlled transactions previously defined by the Transfer Pricing Law. As of now, the following business transactions carried out by Ukrainian taxpayers are deemed controlled:
transactions with non-resident related parties;
international transactions on sale of goods through non-resident agents;
transactions with non-residents (both related and unrelated parties) registered in a jurisdiction listed by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, i.a.:
- state (territory) where the income tax rate is lower than in Ukraine by 5 and more percentage points;
- state which does not publicly disclose information on legal entity ownership;
- state which is not a party to international agreements with Ukraine containing provision on information exchange.
Such transactions are deemed controlled if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
annual income of a taxpayer from any activities, defined in accordance with the accounting standards, exceeds UAH 50 million (net of indirect taxes) for the fiscal (reporting) year;
volume of such transactions of the taxpayer with each counterparty, as defined under the accounting standards, exceeds UAH 5 million (net of indirect taxes) for the fiscal (reporting) year.
What actions should be taken by taxpayers?
Ukrainian taxpayers engaged in controlled transactions starting from 1 September 2013 are required to:
prepare and file a Report on controlled transactions before May 1st of the year, following the tax (reporting) year;
prepare and keep transfer pricing documentation with regard to specific transactions and submit it at request of the Ukrainian tax authorities.
What are the consequences of non-compliance?
A taxpayer’s failure to file a Report on controlled transactions by May 1st will result in a fine of 300 minimal wages (365,400 UAH in 2015);
An undeclared controlled transaction in a Report on controlled transactions will cause a fine of 1% of the controlled transaction’s value (but not more than 300 minimal wages for all undeclared transactions);
Failure to submit a transfer pricing documentation will cause a fine of 3% of a controlled transaction’s value (but not more than 200 minimal wages for all controlled transactions).
How can KPMG help you stay one step ahead in transfer pricing?
When analyzing controlled transactions, KPMG specialists use a complex approach to transfer pricing issues, taking into account provisions of the current legislation, anticipated amendments, judicial enforcement practices and international principles of transfer pricing. This approach helps our clients ensure compliance and add value to their businesses.
Our specialists offer their expertise in:
elaboration of intra-group transfer pricing policies;
preparation of transfer pricing documentation;
assessment and mitigation of transfer pricing risks;
maximization of management and administrative costs for accounting purposes and intra-group profit redistribution;
conducting benchmarking studies to define the arm’s length level of prices/profitabiliy;
negotiating with the tax authorities on the signing of Advanced Pricing Agreements.
KPMG professionals help clients structure intra-group transactions in Ukraine and abroad, analyze tax risks related to the application of transfer prices and substantiate intra-group prices from a tax perspective.
