A draft law for Diia City, bill 14362, received committee support and is positioned to simplify the legal and tax framework for IT companies. The proposal focuses on clearer rules for gig specialists, more predictable residency conditions, and new ways to raise capital through specialized investment funds.
The changes are intended to reduce compliance friction and make the regime more transparent for companies scaling internationally. A clearer status application process and defined refusal grounds should also lower administrative risk for new entrants.
What the bill proposes
- More precise rules for payments to gig specialists and their contracts
- Temporary income threshold overruns without immediate loss of residency
- Ability to raise funds via Diia City Invest vehicles
- Simplified procedures for residency applications and clearer refusal criteria
Investor relevance
For investors in Ukrainian tech, the proposed rules signal a drive toward stability and predictability, which can reduce legal risk in hiring and corporate structuring. Investment funds tailored to Diia City may also improve access to capital for growth stage companies.
Risks and next steps
The bill still requires parliamentary adoption, and implementation details will shape the real impact. Investors should monitor final wording, secondary regulations, and timelines for the new investment vehicles.
