Important to know
When including the IP in the Register, it should be rem0.embered that there shall be no industrial asset complex on the land plot, including workshops and other premises that are suitable for manufacturing of products. In case of presence of such industrial complexes, it will be impossible to include the IP in the Register. Therefore, in the future you will be unable to receive tax benefits from the state.
At the first reading, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a package of bills, which introduce tax and customs investments stimuli for new productions within Industrial Parks.
The bills set temporary fiscal stimuli for the IP residents:
- 5-year full tax exemption on income tax and partial exemption (9%) for subsequent 5 years;
- Exemption from import levy on equipment for the IP development and its business activity;
- Opportunity to get fiscal stimuli in regard to real estate tax, land tax, rent payment for use of land plot of state or communal form of ownership, where the IP is located;
- Installments for 5 years regarding import VAT for the IP development and its business activity.
ANSWERS TO FAQs
Can an IP be created on a leased land plot?
Yes, the creation of an Industrial Park on a leased land plot is allowed by law. But since the IP is created for at least 30 years, the lease shall be long term and the lease agreement shall be certified by a notary. In addition, the concept of the Industrial Park must be coordinated with the landlord.
Can the initiating party, if it is a legal person governed by private law, be a managing company of the IP?
As illogical as it may seem, the initiating part and the managing company shall conclude an agreement on the functioning of the Industrial Park. The company cannot enter into an agreement with itself. Therefore, if the company initiates the creation of the IP, it can no longer become its managing company.
