What are the most common questions asked by a lawyer on value added tax

One of the most common client requests, as our practice shows, is to check a company for fictitiousness. Indeed, this aspect and, in general, the research of information about a potential counterparty can save you from many rash decisions regarding cooperation. For example, if you interact in a contractual relationship with a company that has been included in the list of risky companies, you may later have problems with obtaining a tax credit.

Your company may also be included in the list of risky companies by cooperating with such counterparties. Therefore, getting the support of a qualified tax lawyer in time to help prevent this will be a good investment in your own peace of mind and the ability to conduct business without interruption.

Another fairly common request we receive is for a table of data of a value added tax payer. Its submission is especially relevant in 2 cases: when tax invoices or adjustment calculations are blocked and when the VAT payer wants to be proactive and avoid such blocking. Of course, in the second of these cases, the VAT payer's data table is not a universal “panacea”, but it can prevent the blocking of tax invoices/adjustment calculations on a number of grounds.
