By May 1, 2025, individuals who are controllers of foreign companies must submit relevant reports to the Ukrainian tax authority (for legal entities — by March 3). Fines for failure to submit a report on CIC in 2025 — UAH 908,400, for failure to report — UAH 302,800. The good news — fines are not applied until the end of the war. The bad news — after its end, residents with CIC will have only 6 months to submit all missed reports and correct all errors. In this blog, I answer frequently asked questions from individuals who are controllers of foreign companies, which often arise when preparing reports.

Imagine: you just paid for a service, and the funds are instantly credited to your account. No waiting, no worries — you get a receipt in a couple of seconds and move on. And next to you, another client who used the bank’s services without instant payments has been nervously updating the application for 15 minutes, waiting for his money. This is not a fantasy, but the new reality of payments in Ukraine. Thanks to the Instant Payments service from Raif, which works on the basis of the NBU SEP 4.1 service, clients can transfer funds much faster. This is a revolution in the financial services market, which seemed unattainable a year ago. So far, the service has been connected in 20 banks in Ukraine. And Raif is one of the first. dev.ua talked with Artem Artemov, Director of the IT Development Department for Payment Services, and Vitaliy Borozenko, Director of the IT Development Department for Automated Banking Systems, and learned how the Instant payments service works, which allows you to transfer funds from client to client in literally up to 10 seconds, who implemented it in Raiffeisen, and why so far only a very limited number of banks can provide such a service.

A little less than two months have passed since Donald Trump’s inauguration, and Ukrainians have already stopped counting the number of cases when his statements, and most importantly, his steps, have caused at least surprise, and usually a slight (the stage may vary) shock. Unfortunately, in the conditions of a full-scale war with the Russian Federation, Ukraine is too dependent on the American international position, aid, weapons, and intelligence not to worry about this. But still, as Trump himself said, referring to his detachment from events in Europe, «there is an ocean between us.» Therefore, dev.ua decided to ask Ukrainian IT professionals and representatives of the technology sector who live and work on the other side of the ocean — directly in the USA. We asked them to share their thoughts on how much, in their opinion, the new format of US international policy will affect the country’s economy and specifically the American tech sector. Could this also have consequences for their own jobs and financial security (if they work for American companies). What are the moods of representatives of the tech sector caused by the declaration of trade wars and sharp jumps in stock markets, do Ukrainians discuss this with their colleagues, and is political and economic turbulence really felt in American society?

The trend of returning employees to the office is becoming increasingly popular in the US, but for Generation Z, those born in the 2000s, this can be extremely unusual and, in their opinion, counterproductive. After all, since the quarantine times, they have become accustomed to online learning, and some of them have never even worked in an office. At the same time, now, representatives of Generation Z, coming to the office, are faced with a dilemma — how to appear to their colleagues, and most importantly — to their boss — to be busy enough, despite the fact that they are not actually working at that time. That is, to simulate work in front of the eyes of the team. This imitation of work even got its own name — taskmasking.

Later, it became known that a similar cable broke between Lithuania and Sweden. In early 2025, Taiwan accused China of damaging an undersea cable that runs to the island nation by its ship.
