STI Experts in the Holosiivo district explain the procedure for filing electronic tax returns

«How do I make sure that my electronic reporting was accepted by the Ministry of Revenues» – a popular question the consultants at Holosiivo Taxpayer service hear daily from many taxpayers. The algorithm is rather simple and convenient.

Once a taxpayer reports sent by e-mail, they get two receipts.

The first receipt confirms transfer of electronic tax documents and is sent to the email address that had sent the tax returns. Until the first receipt is not received, a tax document is considered not received.

Confirmation of receiving tax documents to the database of the Ministry of Revenues is the second receipt that specifies:

Details of the electronic tax document received;

Compliance of electronic tax document with the approved format (standard);

Results of verification of electronic digital signatures (EDS);

Taxpayer information;

Date and time of admission;

Registration number;

Tax period of the tax reporting;

Data on the receipt’s sender.

This receipt is marked with EDS of the tax authority and encrypted before sending to the payer. Other copies of the first and second receipts are stored electronically with the tax authority.

If a tax authority received an electronic tax document before 4 pm, the second receipt is sent to the taxpayer within two hours upon acceptance (non-acceptance). If later – during first two hours of the following working day.

The archive of tax documents with imposed on them payer's EDSs, sent to the tax authority, and received electronic receipts is kept during the period prescribed by law for storing tax returns in paper format - 1095 days from the date of the tax statements.
