Liquidation of a Foreign Company Representative Office in Ukraine

Assistance in Closing of the Representative Office

Representative office of a foreign company may be liquidated in one of the following cases:

• liquidation of the non-resident himself, who opened a office on the territory of Ukraine;
• on the part of non-resident or his representative office there has been a breach of the current legislation;
• a non-resident was made a decision about liquidation.

If a non-resident makes a decision about liquidation of the representative office on the territory of Ukraine, it is recorded in the protocol. Liquidation of foreign companies starts with the publication of the message in the printed edition.

After the publication of the notice on the liquidation of the mission, the following actions are taken:

• prepare the documents required for the procedure of liquidation of representative office of foreign company;
• the representation is removed from the account in tax inspection, pension and other funds, after going through unscheduled inspections;
