How to get a Ukrainian taxpayer number for a foreign citizen

If you are a citizen of another country and have been living in Ukraine for a long time, you will need a number of documents. One of them is the Ukrainian taxpayer number identification code.

The legal relationship between a citizen, including a foreigner, and tax authorities is accompanied by the registration of documents. They provide all the necessary information about a person’s identity, allow them to declare their rights, and the tax service to realize them.

Every foreign citizen is obliged to have documents with individual numbers in Ukraine. For the tax service, such a document is a Ukrainian taxpayer number certificate.

Ukrainian taxpayer number is an individual tax number or code. It is formed by the tax authority. It is attached to a person for life.

The change of passport data when applying for citizenship or surname during marriage provides for the replacement of a paper form, in which new text data will be indicated. This procedure does not affect the numerical code of the certificate itself in any way.

The code is linked to a specific name and is displayed in the databases of tax authorities together with it. Ukrainian taxpayer number allows Ukrainians and migrants to be tax registered. The number is provided only for individuals.
