54 MILLION ROUBLES SUCCESSFULLY

The head of a construction company, in which an on-site tax audit ended with criminogenic additional taxes payable amounting to over 57 million roubles, appealed to the Bar’s lawyers for legal assistance. According to the on-site tax audit report reviewed by Petukhov and Partners’ barristers, the inspectorate assumed that there was evidence that the taxpayer reported fictitious transactions with subcontract organisations that did not perform the works in fact.

In the course of the provision of legal assistance, the barristers examined the materials submitted by the principal, demanded documents from the principal’s customers, prepared objections to the tax audit report, consulted on the merits of the tax control measures, which resulted in confirmation of the fact that the disputable works were performed directly by the disputed, as the tax authority believed, subcontractors and their employees.

Based on the results of the activities organised by lawyers in order to prove the taxpayer’s good faith, the inspectorate decided to reject holding the principal’s organisation accountable for tax offences, with the additional charges of 1.5 thousand roubles.
