On December 27, 2019, the President of Ukraine signed Law 2317, which:

• defers application of a fine of 500 000 UAH. for fuel storage without a license until March 31, 2020.
• significantly simplifies the procedure for obtaining a fuel storage license.

WHAT BECOMES EASIER? The following documents are NOT required for those who have not been licensed:

1. Land ownership / lease document.
2. The act of commissioning / readiness of the object for each object (it was postponed until 2022).
3. Permission to start work of increased risk and start using machines, mechanisms, equipment (Labor Ministry based on the conclusion of labor protection).

By Law 2317, for the purposes of obtaining a license, we submit: an APPLICATION, stating:

1. using fuel for your own consumption or processing,
2. the total capacity of the tanks used to store the fuel, their actual location,
3.  the actual location of the tanks used to store the fuel,
4. + Payment receipt of 780 UAH.

WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO USE THE SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE? ATTENTION! Not all of them have the right, but only those entities that carry out storage of fuel that is not sold to other persons and is used solely for the needs of their own consumption or industrial processing.

OWN CONSUMPTION DOES NOT INCLUDE:

• storage of fuel by third parties;
• sale of fuel for the benefit of third parties, including and provision of services with own fueling, any fueling of third parties with own fuel

ATTENTION! Contracts must be replaced by equipment leases with the crew!

If you, as an agricultural enterprise, cultivate the land of other companies, then the places of refueling of machines, machinery, mechanisms for the agro-industrial complex should be equipped with flowmeters-counters at every place of fuel filling! Otherwise you do not have the right to a simplified procedure for obtaining a license;

Law 2317 shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication.
