If, due to circumstances related to the martial law, the taxpayer cannot fulfill tax obligations on time, the payer must notify the Tax Service and confirm such circumstances with documents.

- pay taxes and levies;

- submit tax or other reporting required by the law;

- register tax or excise invoices and adjustment calculations;

- submit electronic documents related to the circulation of fuel and ethyl alcohol;

- fulfill other tax obligations specified by the law.

Attach copies of documents confirming the impossibility of fulfilling tax obligations to the application. List of such documents depends on the payer’s category (legal entity or individual) and is determined by relevant Procedure.

At the same time, there are some exceptions. In particular, a special procedure applies to cases related to registration of excise invoices, submission of electronic documents on the circulation of fuel or ethyl alcohol and separate applications for their movement.
