LAWYER IN TAX DISPUTES

Currently, in the activities of tax authorities, there is a tendency towards the predominance of fiscal methods of work, when all efforts are directed to the performance of the control and verification function. At the same time, insufficient attention is paid to explaining the provisions of the tax legislation to broad sections of the population, to preventive work aimed at preventing taxpayers from making unconscious and accidental mistakes in its application, preventing violations and ensuring the filling of the revenue part of budgets.

In practice, business is increasingly under pressure from the tax service. Illegal tax audits often result in fines amounting to thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands of hryvnias, and blocked tax invoices prevent the company from operating normally, causing business and reputational losses.

How can a lawyer help you in a tax case?

First of all, you will receive qualified help from a specialist who knows the specifics of tax legislation and interaction with tax authorities. A specialist of the legal company "Prikhodko&Partners" will be able to:

• Provide a comprehensive analysis of your situation and offer various options for solving such a problem.
• To be your representative in relations with the tax service.
• Submit an explanation, objection or complaint against the tax authority's decision.
• Appeal the decision of the tax authority in court.

It is worth noting that you can resolve most disputes with the tax office administratively. In practice, lawyers find convincing arguments to confirm the legality of your actions.

In addition, as is known, according to Art. 131-2 of the Constitution of Ukraine, only a lawyer represents another person in court, as well as defense against criminal charges. It is also assumed that the law may define exceptions to representation in court in labor disputes, minor cases and some other cases. At the same time, it is worth noting that these provisions do not enter into force immediately, but a transitional period of 3 years is introduced for their introduction: from 01.01.2017, only lawyers can represent the interests of clients in the court of cassation (now the Supreme Court), from 01.01.2018 of 2019 - in the courts of the appeal instance, from January 1, 2019 - in the courts of the first instance.

So, currently, only a lawyer can be your representative in the defense of the violated right in court.

If you need help in your relationship with the tax service, experienced specialists of the "Prikhodko&Partners" law firm will quickly and efficiently solve your problem.
