How to behave when tax inspectors appear at your doorstep

налоговая проверкаWhen the tax authorities come to your door with an unscheduled inspection, the first thing to do is check whether you are listed in the inspection schedule. It often happens that inspectors may come to you if your enterprise has come to light in a chain of transactions with dubious organizations; in such situations even completely “white” firms may be subject to inspection, since no company operating on the domestic market can be completely sure about its suppliers, clients, or partners.
If your organization has been subjected to an inspection by the tax authorities – there is little point in hiding certain materials that were “exposed” during inspections by other authorities.

Access to banking secrecy during a tax audit

During the inspection, representatives of the tax service, according to p. 72.1.3 of the Tax Code, may demand from you access to internal information that relates to banking secrecy. In such a case, you can refer to the last paragraph of p. 73.3, according to which this information can be provided by the bank, which in turn will require from the inspectors references to ОРД or УПК.

A tax audit can help avoid inspections by other authorities

It should be noted that supervisory authorities do not like to “work together.” That is, the chance of an inspection by the Pension Fund while tax officials are present at your premises is very small. Therefore, inspectors usually arrive one after another. However, because the nature of these procedures is such that inspectors may check and even force you to pay fines for violations beyond their competence, this can help you in dealing with subsequent inspectors, since you can present them the materials from the tax control inspection.
