Settlement of tax disputes

The tax dispute in most cases arises because of disagreement of payers with actions or decisions of the tax inspection. The reason for creating conflict situations most often becomes the lack of validity of refusal to reimburse tax for added value or blocking of a settlement account. Settlement of tax disputes is possible when applying to a court or when applying to a higher authority. It is worth noting that the first option is more effective, especially if you connect qualified lawyers to the case. Representatives of the tax inspection often observe many control rules not very carefully. And even if the offense was still, non-compliance with formalities - this is a sufficient reason for canceling the decision. To protect the rights of their clients, experienced lawyers often make mistakes in the work of tax authorities.

Dispute resolution

As practice shows, the campaign for tax inspections rarely ends in success. Nevertheless, most organizations do not want to make enemies, preferring to solve problems peacefully. They do not dare to go to court, even when communication with the heads of tax authorities does not bring results. Of course, everyone determines for himself the pattern of behavior in such situations, but it is worth remembering that because of this careless attitude, officials can develop a sense of impunity and superiority.

Settlement of tax disputes before litigation

Legislation in some cases provides for pre-judicial mandatory resolution of conflicts. Such is the approval by the tax authorities of a decision to bring taxpayers to justice or to refuse to attract them. They are issued as a result of field or desk inspection. Other decisions can be appealed at once in court. After any of the conclusions are received (must be served no later than five days after the date of the decision), the taxpayer must file an appeal or ordinary complaint with a higher authority. Appeal is prepared within ten days from the date of delivery of the decision, whose action for the period of consideration of the complaint is stopped. A response from the tax authority is given within a month after receiving the complaint. The term may be extended to one and a half months under certain circumstances.

Settlement of tax disputes in court

If the complaint to higher authorities does not give the result that the taxpayer counted on, he can appeal against the decision in court (within three months from the date of its adoption). The settlement of tax disputes has one difficulty, which is that even experienced lawyers find it difficult to navigate in a heterogeneous and huge array of legislation. Also, the process greatly complicates the need to take into account the instructions of departments and the multilateral nature of law enforcement practice. Thus, to solve judicial tax disputes on its own, without using the services of professionals, it becomes almost impossible.
