Which language should be used in documents?
The Ministry of Revenue and Duties in the letter dated 07.05.2013 № 1018/T/99-99-19-03-02-14 in the preparation of primary documents, subject to mandatory management and keeping under the rules of accounting and other documents established by the TCU, advises to use the official language of Ukraine.
This is because the primary documents, subject to reference and keeping under the rules of accounting and other documents established by the TCU, prepared by a taxpayer in a language other than the official, may cause inconvenience in counterparties accounting of such taxpayer from other regions Ukraine.
However, the Ministry of Finance in the letter dated 05.04.2013 № 31-08410-07-27/10841 was lenient about preparing primary documents both in the state (Ukrainian) and a regional or minority language.
