еPermit: businesses can extend the deadlines for foreign currency payments online

Starting from October 31, Ukrainian entrepreneurs can apply applications for an extension of the deadlines for foreign currency payments in international trade online. The service is currently available in the ePermit system in beta version, and the main launch is scheduled for December 2024.

How to join the testing?

The first 100 entrepreneurs can test the service on the Diia portal by participating in beta testing!

Why is it important?

Entrepreneurs will be able to submit applications online without having to visit government agencies or banks. Automatic verification of data in the system will allow correcting errors in applications in a timely manner, reducing the risk of delays, fines and account blocking.

What is BRDO’s role?

The Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) joined the launch and support of ePermit through developing the concept, advocacy, and preparation of regulations, including:

  • Launch of resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine №795: BRDO team has prepared a draft CMU Resolution No. 795 of July 5, 2024 “On the Implementation of the First Stage of the Pilot Project on the Implementation of the Unified State Electronic System of Permits” and provided support until the adoption.
  • Amendments to the CMU Resolution No. 795: BRDO team has developed a draft resolution dated September 13, 2024 No. 1064 “On Amendments to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated July 5, 2024 No. 795”, which introduces the possibility of obtaining a conclusion on the extension of payment deadlines through the ePermit system.

The launch is part of the ePermit project, implemented by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine funded by the European Union under the EU4DigitalUA project, implemented by FIIAPP. 

Advisory support for the development of regulations for the system is provided by the EU4Business: SME Policies and Institutions Support (SMEPIS) project implemented by Ecorys in a consortium with GIZ, BRDO and Civitta with the financial support of the European Union.

The business analysis and modernization of the Diia.Business portal to provide the service of issuing a conclusion is implemented by the Digital Transformation Activity with support from USAID and UK Dev. The implementing partners are the BRDO and the East Europe Foundation.
