There is a Register of Volunteers in Ukraine maintained by the State Tax Service. In order to register, there are two ways to do so: submit the documents in person to any tax authority or send them by post to the State Tax Service at the place of registration.
The list of documents includes: a completed and signed application, a copy of your passport, an original and a copy of your identification number and a certificate of the account that will be used for the charitable donations.
The State Tax Service must register the volunteer within one working day, provided all the documents have been filed correctly. The Tax Code provides for the exemption of the volunteer from annual taxation from the date of registration, and from 24 February 2022 until the date of registration and thereafter for the whole current year.
Remember that registration is not compulsory; it helps to avoid problems with the tax authorities, as the receipts on a volunteer`s card will not be treated as income. However, the Volunteer Service advises you to keep all documents and receipts relating to your charity.
