Support During Tax Audits
The source identifies possible risks of handling an inspection by supervisory authorities without professional support: choosing an unsuitable course of action, providing unnecessary documents or documents that do not comply with legal requirements, and the assessment of additional tax liabilities.
Tax Audit Support Process
According to the Law of Ukraine “On the Basic Principles of State Supervision (Control) in the Sphere of Economic Activity”, state supervision and control are carried out through scheduled and unscheduled measures, including inspections, audits, reviews, examinations and other actions.
The types of inspections conducted by the State Tax Service of Ukraine are as follows: desk inspections; documentary inspections, including scheduled, unscheduled, on-site and off-site inspections; factual inspections; inspections connected with operational-search cases or criminal investigations; and cross-checks.
Review the situation and prospects: analyse the documents and information provided and check whether the enterprise's current taxation arrangements comply with the legislation.
Provide support: advise on interaction with the authorities, tax optimisation for individual business transactions, and disputed issues concerning payment of taxes and levies.
Note
Where a request has been received from a tax authority, it is advisable to consult lawyers before providing any documents.
Where an inspection is conducted at the enterprise's premises, the source recommends, where possible, allocating a separate room to the inspectors and accompanying them when they move around the premises.
