1 BILLION 24 MILLION SUCCESSFULLY

A firm director appealed to the “Petukhov and Partners” Moscow Bar Association due to an on-site tax audit that resulted in a corresponding report with a proposition to charge additional tax arrears in the amount of 1.58 billion roubles in view of the identified signs of the application of illegal schemes for VAT and corporate income tax optimisation, involving counterparties who allegedly did not fulfil their obligations.

Our barristers analysed the tax authority’s demands, prepared and filed objections to the tax audit report, and ensured that the suppliers’ representatives, who confirmed the fact of business relations, attend the tax authority. In addition, the company officials were interrogated in the company of the Petukhov and Partners MBA.

Barristers’ arguments were largely taken into account by the tax authority due to the competent and well-ordered work on the formation of evidence of the taxpayer’s good faith in conducting business. Following the results of the on-site tax audit, it was decided to reduce the calculated tax arrears of 1.58 billion roubles to 534 million roubles.
