This marks a significant step toward the digital transformation of tax administration. GLS Law is closely monitoring the process and actively working to integrate this new tool into client services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccc <strong>What is SAF-T UA?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SAF-T UA (Standard Audit File for Tax) is a standardized electronic file that contains data from a company\u2019s accounting system on assets, liabilities, capital, and financial transactions. It is part of the National Revenue Strategy through 2030 (approved by Cabinet Resolution No. 1218-r of 27.12.2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on international SAF-T standards already in use across the EU, this format aims to unify data for tax audit purposes and enable structured electronic data transfers to tax authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Why Is It Being Introduced?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to improve the transparency and efficiency of tax audits. Electronic auditing allows the State Tax Service to automatically analyze reporting data, cross-check information from multiple sources, and reduce subjectivity \u2014 focusing on high-risk transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For businesses, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fewer document requests;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>faster electronic data exchange;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the need for structured accounting and proper software integration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2699\ufe0f <strong>How Will It Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core component is a standardized XML file exported from a company&#8217;s accounting system. It contains data for a specified period, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>account balances;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>counterparties and transactions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>assets and liabilities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>operating results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The file format is defined via an XSD schema, already published on the STS website in the SAF-T UA section. Sample files and developer documentation are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>GLS Law Is Already Involved<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re not just observing \u2014 we\u2019re testing SAF-T UA in the tax portal. This enables us to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>pre-adapt internal processes and systems;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>prepare recommendations for clients;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stay one step ahead in tax compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GLS Law supports companies in the shift to digital tax administration: from reporting and audit preparation to accounting structuring and system integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udce3 <strong>Why Prepare Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SAF-T UA is not mandatory yet, but implementation is only a matter of time. Across Europe, such systems have become the standard for tax reporting. Their advantages are transparency, automation, and reduced risk for both businesses and authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Ukrainian companies, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. Those who prepare in advance can adapt smoothly, reduce audit exposure, and avoid penalties for non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GLS Law<\/strong> \u2014 we\u2019re not just watching.
