Short answer
Must a registered volunteer in Ukraine keep documents proving charitable aid given
Yes. Under article 44 of the Tax Code taxpayers keep records of income and expenses on the basis of source documents, and reporting figures may not be based on data without supporting documents. A volunteer listed in the Register must therefore obtain and keep documents confirming aid given to the persons named in items (a) and (c) of subclause 165.1.54. A source document is one that contains details of the transaction and confirms it took place.
Which documents confirm charitable aid given by an individual
Any source document with the details of the transaction: a handover act, a distribution list signed by the recipient, a payment document, the recipient’s request letter. The tax service requires documentary proof under article 44 of the Tax Code.
How long to keep documents on charitable aid
At least the general retention period for source documents under the Tax Code: 1,825 days from the filing of the return for corporate income tax payers, NGOs and simplified-system companies, 1,095 days for others (Tax Code clause 44.3).
