The concept of registration of representative offices of foreign companies
Foreign companies that carry out foreign economic activity in Ukraine are entitled to open representative offices on its territory.

The actions of the representative office are carried out only on behalf of the founder indicated in the registration certificate and only on his behalf. Such legal entities can conduct both entrepreneurial and non-commercial activities. At the same time, the conduct of economic activity for the purpose of making a profit is necessarily registered with the tax authorities, but not the representative office itself, but the parent company.
