Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners, Taxand Ukraine, presents an outline of Ukraine’s protocol to their tax treaty with the UK.
On 9 October 2017, the governments of Ukraine and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland signed a new Protocol to the Double Tax Treaty (DTT) of 1993.
The Protocol, among other things, increases withholding tax (WHT) on all passive income by an additional 5% thereby potentially affecting existing and future cross-border financing structures involving UK lenders.
