• Income tax in the country is at least 5% less than the Ukrainian one;
• there are no agreements on exchange of information;
• The fiscal authorities do not give all the information to the Regulator.

According to the established items, the blacklist of offshore companies in Ukraine in
2018 now contains 85 jurisdictions. IT-OFFSHORE specialists draw your attention to the fact that Estonia fell into the list by mistake due to an incorrectly interpreted law on income tax.
