The tax authority has reminded taxpayers how to update their information in the taxpayer’s account.

The Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in Kyiv region has reminded how to update information in the taxpayer's account card.

The authorities noted that it is crucial for individuals who are taxpayers in Ukraine to promptly notify the tax authorities about such changes.

Legislative Basis and Submission Deadlines

According to paragraph 70.7 of Article 70 of the Tax Code of Ukraine dated December 2, 2010, No. 2755-VI, and paragraph 1 of Section IX of the Regulation on the Registration of Individuals in the State Register of Individuals – Taxpayers (hereinafter referred to as the SRIT), approved by the order of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine dated September 29, 2017, No. 822, individuals are required to notify the tax authorities of any changes within a month from the date such changes occur. For this purpose, an application in form No. 5DR (Appendix 12 to Regulation No. 822) must be submitted along with an identity document (which will be returned after presentation).

Who and Where Should Submit the Application?

An individual can submit the application in form No. 5DR:

- in person to the controlling authority at their tax address (place of residence);

- in case of a change of residence – to the controlling authority at the new place of residence or to any other controlling authority;

- through a representative, if there is a notarized power of attorney. In this case, the representative must submit their identity document, the document of the principal (or a clear photocopy), and the power of attorney (which will be returned after presentation).

What Documents Are Required?

To complete the application, data from the identity document is used, as well as documents that confirm the changes (for example, a marriage certificate in case of a surname change). To verify the information about the place of residence, the individual must attach one of the following documents (original and copy): 

- an extract from the community register;

- a passport in booklet form;

- a temporary certificate of a citizen of Ukraine.

For internally displaced persons, an additional certificate of registration as an IDP, issued in accordance with the Cabinet's resolution dated October 1, 2014, No. 509, is required. All original documents will be returned after verification, while copies will remain with the tax authority.

Timely notification of the tax authorities about changes in data is not only a legal requirement but also a guarantee of accurate taxpayer accounting. The process of submitting the application in form No. 5DR is clearly regulated and does not require significant effort if all necessary documents are prepared in advance. Adhering to these rules will help avoid misunderstandings with the controlling authorities and maintain the relevance of information in the State Register.
