or<\/li>\n<li>participating in meetings organized by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Ukraine or its home country or the commercial section of the Embassy of the principal\u2019s home country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best way to find an agent is through the recommendation of trusted companies or persons who are familiar with the Ukrainian market.\u00a0 For that reason, many foreign companies entering the Ukrainian market should first speak with other companies from their home country, which have practical experience and reliable contacts in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Professional Qualifications.\u00a0 Using recruiting agencies for finding an agent allows you to find an agent with the required qualification in the shortest period of time; however, one should always carefully screen the recommended agent to make sure that such agent has the proper professional and personal\/ethical qualifications and fits within the principal\u2019s \u201cteam\u201d rules.<\/p>\n<p>Background Research. \u00a0At a minimum you should interview candidates, review the credentials (diplomas, former employment) and request background research of such agent. \u00a0In all cases you must verify the agent\u2019s status (especially, when finding an agent through the Internet). It is highly advisable to verify whether an agent is a duly registered subject of entrepreneurial activity (private entrepreneur) or company, or was involved in questionable or disputable activities.\u00a0 You may also request an on-line extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations to check whether a company or entrepreneur is subject to liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings or information from the newly available public registers for enforcement proceedings (The Automated System of Enforcement Proceedings \u2013 ASEP) and debtors (Unified Register of Debtors \u2013 URD).<\/p>\n<p>Language Barrier.\u00a0 One of the most difficult obstacles in finding a good agent is the language barrier in Ukraine.\u00a0 Not all Ukrainian businessmen are proficient in a foreign language (English, in particular) and misunderstandings in communications may arise.\u00a0 Therefore, when screening agents, it is advisable to test their understanding of your preferred language of communication.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you meet with candidates more than once to gauge the parties\u2019 expectations and develop a relationship of trust.\u00a0 You may also try several \u201csingle-task\u201d or short-term transactions before concluding a long-term agency relationship involving multiple transactions and settlements.<\/p>\n<p>IV.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Legal aspects of cooperation<\/p>\n<p>A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Signing of an Agency Agreement (Special Clause on Termination)<\/p>\n<p>Agreements. \u00a0One of the most important rules for any type of agreement in Ukraine is that it should be in writing and drafted according to the form and substance requirements of Ukrainian law.\u00a0 Agency relations entail two additional basic legal aspects: (i) the principal authorizes its agent to undertake specific actions on the basis of an agency agreement or (ii) the principal approves a transaction concluded by the agent in its interest.<\/p>\n<p>Conditions.\u00a0 The fundamental conditions for any commercial agreement are its subject matter (i.e., agency \u2013 related actions such as market research, advertising, etc.), and its price and validity term. In addition to the sphere of activity, procedure of performance, and rights and obligations of the parties, other provisions may include sanctions in case of contractual breaches (damages), the territorial coverage of the agreement (Ukraine or a specific region thereof), reporting requirements, and confirmation of the agent\u2019s authorities for each transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Exclusivity.\u00a0 The Commercial Code divides agency relations into two categories: (a) exclusive and (b) non-exclusive.\u00a0 In case of exclusive agency relations, the agent does not have the right to be an agent for other parties within the limits provided by the said agreement. \u00a0In non-exclusive relations, the agent has the right to act as an agent for other parties and the principal has the right to authorize other agents to perform similar tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Power of Attorney.\u00a0 Under Ukrainian legislation, a principal must issue a power of attorney to an agent in order to carry out various actions provided by an agreement.\u00a0 Therefore, in addition to signing an agency agreement, the principal should also issue a power of attorney to the agent with the specific enumeration of the agent\u2019s authorities before the third parties.<\/p>\n<p>Termination.\u00a0 In most cases, agency agreements may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties or by a court\u2019s decision on the demand of one party if the other party substantially violates the agreement.\u00a0 Conveniently, an agency agreement may also be terminated by simply revoking the agent\u2019s power of attorney.<\/p>\n<p>B.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Possible Payments Methods<\/p>\n<p>Agency agreements must determine the amount of the agent\u2019s fee, set forth a procedure for effectuating such payments, and other provisions related to settlements between the parties (e.g., additional payments\/bonuses if the agent successfully concludes a transaction in the principal\u2019s interest).<\/p>\n<p>An agent\u2019s fee should be paid after obtaining payments from the third parties under agreements concluded with the assistance of the agent.\u00a0 However, the parties are free to establish other payment procedures for the agent\u2019s remuneration.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, the agent usually issues an invoice to the principal, who will pay the agent\u2019s fee by wire transfer of funds to the agent\u2019s bank account.\u00a0 Ukrainian law permits an agent to receive foreign currency, provided that the agency agreement is concluded with a foreign principal.<\/p>\n<p>C.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Taxation<\/p>\n<p>A Ukrainian agent will be subject to either the (a) simplified or (b) general tax system.<\/p>\n<p>Simplified Tax System.\u00a0 In this case, the agent will pay a fixed percentage per month set by the relevant local authority on its net income received under agency agreements.\u00a0 There are four groups in the simplified tax system and the percentage of tax paid by the agent each month will depend upon which simplified tax group the agent elects and the region (city, village) where the agent works.<\/p>\n<p>For agents, who are registered as individual entrepreneurs, the fixed percentage can be up to 10% of the minimum standard of living level for healthy individuals (first group) or up to 20% of the minimum monthly salary (second group).\u00a0 Both the minimum standard of living level and the minimum monthly salary are set on January 1st of each year once the annual state budget is passed by the Parliament and increase periodically throughout the year.\u00a0 Agents in the third group elect a tax rate of 3% or 5% of their income, depending on whether they independently pay value added tax or include value-added tax into the unified tax.\u00a0 The fourth group may only be elected by agricultural producers and, thus, may not be elected by agents.<\/p>\n<p>Agents, which are legal entities (companies), may only elect the third group of the simplified tax system, depending on certain conditions.\u00a0 A legal entity may choose the third group if income does not exceed 5,000,000 hryvnias during the calendar year.\u00a0 In such case, the agent\u2019s tax rate will be either 3% or 5% of their annual proceeds, depending on whether they independently pay VAT (3%) or include VAT in their simplified tax rate (5%).<\/p>\n<p>General Tax System.\u00a0 With respect to the general taxation system, an agent, which is a legal entity and elects this system, will be subject to taxation on its profit at the rate of 18%.\u00a0 Many legal entities-agents will also be subject to VAT if their activity is conducted on the territory of Ukraine and the total amount of their operations for the last 12 calendar months is over 1,000,000 UAH.\u00a0 The current VAT rate is 20%.<\/p>\n<p>If an agent is an individual entrepreneur, but does not qualify for the simplified taxation system, then such individual will be taxed on their personal income at a rate of 18%.\u00a0 Such individual must also pay 22% as a unified social contribution (pension, disability, unemployment, professional illness).\u00a0 An individual agent under the general taxation system must pay at least 22% of the minimum monthly salary (currently 3,200 UAH) each month or 22% of actually received income per month, but on no more than 40,000 UAH per month (this ceiling will rise to 44,050 UAH by year\u2019s end).<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, a war tax of 1.5% on the personal income of all individuals was introduced until December 31, 2014.\u00a0 However, the war tax has continued to be extended into 2017 until such time as the military actions in the eastern part of the country cease.\u00a0 Please note that this tax is applied to almost all types of income received by an individual and, if applicable, must be withheld by employers on behalf of their employees.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Tax Code of Ukraine came into effect on January 1, 2011, many Ukrainian agents working on the territory of Ukraine with Ukrainian residents have suspended their activities under agency agreements due to the somewhat strict provisions of the Tax Code.\u00a0 However, in relation to agency agreements concluded between a Ukrainian agent and a foreign principal, the rules remain attractive for the parties and, therefore, local agents continue to work with their foreign counterparts without reservations.<\/p>\n<p>D.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Performance evaluation (auditing)<\/p>\n<p>Since a commercial agent carries out its activity on behalf of a principal, it is vital for such principal to be aware of the agent\u2019s activity.\u00a0 Fortunately, the right of the principal to control an agent\u2019s activity is prescribed by law.\u00a0 Specifically, the agent must inform the principal regarding each transaction he\/she\/it assists and concludes in the interest of the principal.\u00a0 In addition, upon the principal\u2019s demand, the agent must provide a performance report.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the parties may include a provision into the agency agreement granting the principal the right to periodically review an agent\u2019s documentation, records, data, etc., connected with the performance of the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>V.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Case studies: Cultural peculiarities in mutual cooperation<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainians often wish to please their foreign counterparts by promising certain results; however, the principal should always check whether these results can be achieved on a legal basis without any future negative consequences for the principal\u2019s activity in Ukraine.\u00a0 One method of verification is the conclusion of agency agreements on a case-by-case basis in the very beginning of the relationship.\u00a0 If the agent\u2019s activity runs smoothly and he\/she\/it is able to reach specific targets or achievements, the principal may choose to conclude lengthier agency agreements in the future.<\/p>\n<p>While Ukrainian people, in general, are open-hearted, this does not mean that they will not attempt to gain an upper hand for their own benefit.\u00a0 Given the above, it is vital for foreign companies to verify the actions of their Ukrainian counterparts, as corruption is widespread and some Ukrainians do not hesitate to solve business issues within the \u201cgray\u201d areas of the law.\u00a0 This peculiarity originates from the former Soviet Union where many issues were resolved by offering \u201cfacilitation fees\u201d.\u00a0 To combat these tendencies, a foreign party should discuss all related issues with its Ukrainian party, requesting honest and close supervision in all proposed steps to avoid any misunderstandings which may arise.<\/p>\n<p>In all too many cases a foreign company negotiates with a Ukrainian partner without first obtaining proper professional guidance.\u00a0 At the beginning of cooperation, things often seem to run smoothly, but once a problem arises, it is more difficult to resolve after the fact.\u00a0 Proper professional assistance in reviewing and analyzing a transaction prior to conclusion can make the difference between success and failure.<\/p>\n<p>VI.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 List of Recruiting Agencies in Ukraine providing the service of an agent search<\/p>\n<p>1.<a
