Pre-trial settlement of tax disputes – an opportunity to find a compromise between the client and the fiscal authorities.

The term «tax dispute» is used to denote a legal confrontation between a fiscal service body and a legal or natural person who is a taxpayer. Such conflicts arise from various issues related to the assessment and payment of government levies regulated by law.

According to court statistics, the initiators of tax disputes are, in the vast majority of cases, fiscal authorities, whose goal is to enforce the collection of payments and to impose sanctions on taxpayers who evade their obligations. As for cases challenging certain non-regulatory acts, the applicants are predominantly business entities.

The main reasons for conflicts between participants in legal relations include:

• normative legal acts adopted with violations in terms of their content;
• decisions of government bodies that contradict legal norms;
• unlawful actions or inaction by fiscal service employees;
• the need to collect mandatory payments from a taxpayer;
• refunds from the budget of funds collected by a fiscal authority in an excessive amount, as well as overpaid sums by legal or natural persons;
• blocking a payer’s bank account in a manner inconsistent with legal requirements;
• compensation for damage caused to an enterprise by unlawful decisions or actions of fiscal service employees;
• ignoring statements, petitions, and requests submitted by the taxpayer to state authorities.

• legal support during a tax audit, assessment of its legality and expediency;
• preparation of documents objecting to a tax authority’s decision;
