ua-tax-optimizationBuilt by Michael Cutajar and the OpenAccountants team Use this skill whenever asked about legal tax optimization or tax planning for self-employed people in Ukraine. Trigger on phrases like "reduce tax Ukraine", "Diia City", "single tax vs general system", "tax planning Ukraine freelancer", "optimise FOP taxes", "should I be on єдиний податок or загальна система", "lower my tax as an IT freelancer in Ukraine", "Group 3 5% vs general system", "Diia City gig contract", "do I need to register for VAT", or any question about legitimately structuring a Ukrainian self-employed person's affairs to pay less tax. Covers choosing the right regime, the ₴1,000,000 VAT threshold lever, the Diia City IT regime, ЄСВ minimisation, expense documentation on the general system, foreign-client / FX considerations, and the red flags of fictitious-FOP misclassification. This skill is about LEGAL planning only — it never advises evasion. ALWAYS read this skill before any Ukrainian self-employed tax-planning work, and cross-read ua-single-tax, ua-income-tax, ua-payroll and ua-formation.
