The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the form and the rules for presenting reports on the signed real estate sale and purchase contracts and payment of obligatory pension insurance tax by notaries. “Notaries quarterly, until the 20th day of the month following the reporting quarter, are required to submit a report on the signed immovable property sale and purchase contracts and payment of the compulsory pension insurance tax to the Pension Fund authorities at the location of the notary public office or private notary’s workplace using the approved form,” the press service of the Ministry of Social Policy said, citing a government decision.
According to the decision, real estate purchase and sale contracts are endorsed by notaries with documentary evidence of the payment of the levy on transactions on purchase and sale of real estate.
When endorsing sales contracts, a notary shall verify the payment of the fee by the buyer and demand the respective documents.
“The form of the report on the signed immovable property sale and purchase contracts contains information on the number of concluded real estate purchase and sale contract, the value of the property and the amount of the compulsory pension insurance tax paid,” the press service said. The implementation of the resolution makes it possible to improve control over the payment of the tax and ensure the completeness of revenues sent to the national budget
