How should an extract from the technical documentation regarding the standard monetary valuation of a land plot be submitted if the land tax return is filed electronically
In accordance with paragraph 286.2 of Article 286 of the Tax Code of Ukraine (hereinafter – the Code) land tax payers (other than individuals) shall independently calculate the amount of land tax annually as at 1 January and, no later than 20 February of the current year, submit to the relevant controlling authority at the location of the land plot a tax return for the current year in the form established in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 46 of the Code, with the annual amount broken down into equal monthly instalments. The submission of such a return exempts the payer from the obligation to submit monthly returns. When submitting the first declaration (the actual commencement of activity as a land tax payer), an extract from the technical documentation on the normative monetary valuation of the land plot (hereinafter – the Valuation Extract) shall be submitted together with it, and subsequently such an Extract shall be submitted in the event of the approval of a new normative monetary valuation (hereinafter – the Valuation) of the land.
In this regard, the technical documentation on the Valuation of land plots remains valid until the decision of the relevant local government body approving new technical documentation comes into effect (clause 4 of Resolution No. 1147 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 3 November 2021 ‘On Approval of the Methodology for the Regulatory Monetary Valuation of Land Plots’). In other words, the Extract to the Declaration for subsequent tax (reporting) periods shall not be submitted until the new Valuation is approved.
The form of the tax return for land payments (land tax and/or rent for state- or municipally-owned land plots) was approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine No. 560 of 16 June 2015 (as amended) (hereinafter – the Return).
Paragraph 49.3 of Article 49 of the Code stipulates that, unless otherwise provided for in the Code, the tax return shall be submitted, at the taxpayer’s discretion, in one of the following ways: in person by the taxpayer or an authorised representative, or sent by post with a return receipt and a list of enclosures, or via electronic means in electronic form in compliance with the requirements of the Laws of Ukraine “On Electronic Documents and Electronic Document Management” and “On Electronic Identification and Electronic Trust Services”.
If necessary, the taxpayer may submit, together with the tax return, supplements to such return, drawn up in any form, which shall be considered an integral part of the tax return. Such an addendum shall be submitted with an explanation of the reasons for its submission. In this case, a taxpayer submitting reports in electronic form shall submit such an addendum in electronic form (the second paragraph of Article 46.4 of the Code).
Where the Declaration is submitted together with an Extract from the Assessment, the existence of the Extract to such a Declaration shall be indicated in line 8 ‘Addendum to the Declaration’ (number of pages), and in the ‘Content of the Addendum’ line of the Declaration – the date and number of the Extract.
Where the Assessment Extract is submitted electronically, including via the ‘Electronic Office’ (under the ‘Correspondence with the State Tax Service’ menu), the accompanying explanatory letter must specify the number and date of the Declaration to which such an extract is submitted.
