The tax disputes are quite complex, because the rules of various branches of law are applied in the course of their consideration, so only a professional can take a balanced legal position. A tax lawyer will help you to find an effective way to protect yourself.

Protection during inspections

Today, the vast majority of planned control measures are published by the inspectors on their official websites in advance. Therefore, if you become aware of the inspection, you must immediately involve a specialist. This applies to all types of inspections, both tax and inspections by departments of labor, environmental inspection, architectural and construction control and others. Sometimes the timely involvement of a tax lawyer or other specialist makes it possible to avoid through prior consultation and analysis the inspections or to “pull up” weaknesses in advance, to prepare the company’s staff for inspection.

Prompt involvement and arrival of a lawyer for inspection will allow him to immediately take an active part in its course, including on admission/non-admission of inspectors before its commencement.

The experience confirms that in the presence of a tax lawyer, the representatives of the controlling body behave more formally, properly prepare inquiries submitted as part of the audit. The legally competent and well-founded answers to such inquiries will allow to resolve controversial issues already in the course of inspection, and not based on its consequences. In addition, the participation of a specialist in the inspection will make it possible to prepare more carefully for further appeal against the decisions of the inspection body in case of their negativity, as the deadlines for such an appeal are quite limited.

Appeal against the actions of tax authorities

In case of negative results based on the inspection, one needs to seize the opportunity to appeal against them administratively. With regard to appeal against the results in court, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the cost of such a procedure is much cheaper than paying the sanctions imposed by the fiscal authorities.
