Lawyer in Tax Law: Protecting Business and Assets

Lawyer in Tax Law helps businesses avoid conflicts with the fiscal service, protect themselves during inspections, and appeal unlawful actions by tax officials. The YURKONSALT law firm has been protecting the interests of companies and entrepreneurs in tax disputes for over 10 years, combining knowledge of tax legislation with practical experience working in state tax service authorities.

The tax system of Ukraine changes constantly — new laws, regulations, and court practice. What was legally correct a year ago may turn out to be problematic today. Tracking all changes on your own, correctly applying regulations, and protecting your rights before the fiscal authorities — is difficult. That is why engaging a tax issues lawyer is not a luxury, but a necessary investment in business security.

When you need a tax lawyer

Many entrepreneurs contact us only after they receive a notice of an audit or a fine from the tax authorities. But it’s better to reach out in advance — this helps minimize risks and prepare for possible problems. A tax disputes lawyer will be needed in situations such as:

• you received an order to conduct a tax audit;
• tax authorities came to the office for an unscheduled inspection;
• you received a notice of штраф sanctions or additional assessed taxes (tax notification-decisions, PPR);
• you need to choose the optimal taxation system for a new business;
• there are doubts about the correctness of accounting for certain transactions;
• development or revision of the terms of agreements with counterparties;
• planning the expansion or restructuring of the business;
• assessment of tax risks before an important agreement.

Legal consultations on taxes and risk analysis

A consultation with a tax attorney is not just an answer to a question. It is a detailed analysis of your situation, risk assessment, and practical recommendations based on legislation and court practice. We provide consultations both orally and in writing — in the form of legal opinions. Written opinions are especially important for complex issues, since they can be used as evidence of your good faith.

Main consultation topics:

• analysis of compliance of activities with the requirements of tax legislation;
• selection of a taxation system (general system, simplified system, single tax);
• tax optimization and tax planning;
• transfer pricing;
• VAT issues, including unlocking the registration limit;
• declaring income and correct calculation of taxes.

Legal support for tax audits by a lawyer

A tax audit is a stressful process for any business. But if the fiscal authorities have already «visited» you or you have received an order for an inspection — don’t wait for the results, contact a lawyer immediately. Most violations that are later difficult to appeal occur during the audit itself.

During the audit, the YURKONSALT lawyer:

• properly formalizes the admission of tax authority representatives to your office;
• monitors compliance with the audit procedure and the rights of the taxpayer;
• provides explanations and documents upon request from the auditors;
• prepares written remarks on the audit report;
• prepares materials for further appeal.

Quite often, after seeing the lawyer’s legally correct remarks about procedural violations, tax officials change their conclusions. For more on how to appeal fines and the actions of regulatory authorities, read our blog.

Appealing the results of an audit and tax penalties

If the audit ended negatively, it’s not the end. The results can be appealed. The appeal process takes several stages:

• Complaint to a higher DPS authority. Filed in case of violations during the audit or incorrect application of legislation.
• Appeal in administrative court. If the higher DPS authority did not satisfy the complaint, you can file a lawsuit in court.
• Appeal and cassation. Appeal of court decisions in higher instances.

Our lawyers have successfully represented clients in courts in hundreds of cases, including writing off debts in court and canceling tax notification-decisions.

Tax disputes lawyer: typical cases

The task of a tax attorney is to deal not only with theory, but also with practical business problems. Here are the most common disputes in which we successfully defended our clients:

• Unlocking tax invoices. The tax authority often blocks VAT without clear reasons. We know how to restore the right to the tax credit.
• Disputes regarding transfer pricing. Analysis of price compliance with the «arm’s length principle».
