  4. Taxation of Limited liability company(one of the following options) *Simple system can be used only in case when total income of LLC per year is not more than 5 000 000 UAH (≈ 180 000 USD). This system is preferable for most of IT-company`s in Ukraine. ** VAT is applicable in common system only in case when LLC is registered as VAT payer. The model of VAT in Ukraine is the input-output one. VAT-registered persons deduct the VAT paid on their inputs from the VAT charged on their sales and account for the difference to the tax authorities.
