432.8 MILLION ROUBLES SUCCESSFULLY

The Bar’s lawyers provided legal assistance to a taxpayer organisation during the in-house tax audit, by the results of which the company was held accountable for tax offences with additionally charged VAT arrears of 470 million roubles.

The tax authority’s position relied on the allegedly revealed criminal scheme for tax evasion, on the taxpayer listed in the Federal Register of Alleged Beneficiaries, as well as on preliminary analytical system evidence of the specialised ACS VAT-2 software. Inspectorate’s representatives advanced a proposition to pay off the arrears calculated by the inspectorate prior to the deadline for appealing their decision.

The barristers of Petukhov and Partners MBA advised the taxpayer on the need to appeal the decision, carefully analysed the tax authority’s position, claims and evidence used, and prepared a reasoned and motivated appeal to a higher-level tax authority

Due to the prompt and opportune provision of competent legal assistance to the principal, the taxpayer was claimed to pay off 37.2 million roubles of VAT arrears instead of the previously calculated 470 million roubles.
