Tax Audits. Successful Defense Tactics

Source: Yurist i zakon

Tax audits are always stressful for business. It doesn't matter if the audit is announced or unannounced, but it still causes the taxpayer negative emotions and concerns about its results.

Before approaching a protection strategy, it is essential to decide on the taxpayer's result from such defense. For the protection tactics to be effective, it is necessary to understand that it will most likely not be possible to avoid the tax audit act, because one of the main functions of the STS authorities is to replenish the budget, and just like that, the auditor will not come to check.

Therefore, the correct defense tactics should minimize additional tax charges and prepare an evidentiary base for challenging decisions/actions of the tax authority in an administrative/judicial procedure.
