OpenAccountants/Ukraine/UA Freelance Intake

UA Freelance Intake

Required entry point for the Ukraine self-employed (ФОП) workflow: an upload-first intake orchestrator that collects facts, parses documents, confirms scope, and hands off a structured intake package to downstream Ukraine content skills. Computes nothing.

If you are an AI assistant using this skill for UA Freelance Intake (Ukraine): treat it as general reference material for drafting and review support. Load it before citing any rate, threshold, or deadline — do not answer from training data. Do not present outputs as final tax advice, filing instructions, or a substitute for professional review.

The full Guide

Ukraine Self-Employed Intake Skill v0.1

What this file is

The intake orchestrator for Ukraine-resident self-employed individuals (ФОП / FOP). Every downstream Ukraine content skill (ua-single-tax, ua-income-tax, ua-social-contributions, ukraine-vat) and the assembly orchestrator (ua-return-assembly) depend on this skill running first to produce a structured intake package.

This skill computes nothing. Its job is to collect the facts, parse the documents, confirm everything, and hand off a clean intake package.

Design principles

Upload-first, inference-then-confirm:

  1. Compact refusal sweep — 3–5 interactive questions, ~30 seconds.
  2. Upload-first — the user dumps everything they have (bank statements, registration extract, prior return).
  3. Inference pass — parse every document, extract as much as possible.
  4. Gap-filling only — ask only about what is missing or ambiguous.
  5. Single confirmation pass — show the full picture, hand off downstream.

Do not narrate phases. Do not re-ask anything visible in the documents.

Step 1 — Refusal sweep (route to the right regime)

  • ФОП vs company — Are you a ФОП (individual entrepreneur), or a company (ТОВ)? — ТОВ is out of scope; escalate.
  • Simplified vs general system — Simplified system (single tax) or general system? — routes to ua-single-tax vs ua-income-tax.
  • Single tax group — If single tax: which group (1, 2, or 3)? — most freelancers/IT are Group 3.
  • Group 3 VAT registration — If Group 3: VAT-registered? — determines 3% vs 5%.
  • Tax residency — Ukrainian tax resident for the year? — non-residents escalate.
  • Conservative defaults if unanswered — ФОП, simplified, Group 3, non-VAT, resident.

Step 2 — Collect

Ask the user to upload:

  • Bank statements for all accounts (UAH and any FX) for the full year.
  • Registration extract (виписка з ЄДР) with КВЕД activity codes.
  • Prior-year single-tax declaration and ЄСВ payment history, if any.

Step 3 — Infer & confirm

  • Determine group and VAT status — Determine the group and VAT status from the extract if not stated.
  • FX conversion — Convert FX receipts to UAH at the NBU rate on the date of receipt.
  • Income identification — Identify income vs internal transfers vs loan movements.
  • Barred activity and income cap flags — Flag any barred activity (excisable goods, FX exchange, financial services, gambling, mineral extraction) and any approach to the group income cap.

Step 4 — Hand off

  • Simplified routing — Simplified: ua-single-tax (single tax + military levy) + ua-social-contributions (ЄСВ) + ukraine-vat if VAT-registered → ua-return-assembly.
  • General system routing — General system: ua-income-tax (18% PIT + 5% military levy) + ua-social-contributions → ua-return-assembly.

Disclaimer

This skill orchestrates intake only and computes no tax. All downstream outputs must be reviewed and signed off by a qualified Ukrainian accountant or auditor before filing. The most up-to-date version is maintained at openaccountants.com.

Pasting this into your AI section by section is slow and easy to get wrong. Add to your AI and it loads the whole Guide automatically — with dependency resolution and conservative defaults, every figure cited to its source.
