Your power to winTax consultations
Tax consultations is one of the main types of legal assistance provided by the Attorneys-at-Law WinnerLex. According to our practice, both entrepreneurs and in-house accountants of enterprises with major experience may demand tax consultancy and legal services. Indeed, the competence of an accountant and independent study of the topic mostly don’t help to resolve a wide range of issues with the fiscal service.
The principal value of consulting tax lawyers is a deep understanding and methodical analysis of the practical application of tax legislation, due to which legal tax advice is in great demand in the business environment.
The WinnerLex taxation lawyers gained their deep knowledge and practical experience providing legal support for business in matters of tax law for plenty of years.
Legal tax advice of WinnerLex might show the alternative view on issues of business out of the perspective of practicing tax lawyers, take practical advice, prevent the risks, and receive the crucial attorney’s insights to make the most optimal business decision.
For many business representatives, tax consultancy becomes useful to minimize the possible tax risks in their business activities. For instance, before they launch a new project, or in terms of preparation for a tax audit.
But of course, in most cases, tax legal consultation becomes a real necessity when the issue with the Taxation Office has already occurred. In such cases, tax legal advice aims to provide the client with objective information regarding:
- compliance of its activities with the requirements of tax legislation
- the legality of actions and/or decisions of tax authorities
- the possibilities, terms, and prospects of their appeal in an administrative or judicial order
- other possible ways of solving problems or minimizing their consequences
The tax consultancy of WinnerLex attorneys may set a reliable basis for decision-making, both in everyday life and in the most difficult situations.
Tax advice is most in-demand on the following issues:
- unblocking tax invoices
- the procedure for admitting and conducting a tax audit;
- preparation of objections to acts of tax audit;
- tax disputes:
- appeal against tax notices-decisions
- collection of a tax debt at the request of a tax authority
- selection of the optimal taxation system for a new business;
- optimization of taxation and tax planning;
- transfer pricing;
- VAT refund;
- advice on the specifics of levying a land tax, single tax, income declaration;
- assessment and minimization of tax risks when concluding transactions, checking counterparties;
- specificity of taxation of certain types of contracts;
- administrative seizure of assets;
- obtaining individual tax advice etc.
Depending on the situation, tax advice is provided both orally and in writing. Of course, oral tax legal advice is preferable in relatively simple situations. But in all difficult situations, for example, when it is necessary to challenge the decisions of the tax authorities, we recommend receiving tax advice in the form of written legal opinions, which will contain all the necessary information. In this case, all the conclusions and their justification will always be at hand and you can refer to them at any convenient time.
At the same time, it is also important that, unlike other tax consultants, all information received by a lawyer from a client for analysis and preparation of tax consultations are protected by the lawyer's secrecy.
If documents are lost, damaged or destroyed ahead of time, the taxpayer must notify the tax authority in writing within five days of the event and restore the lost documents within 90 calendar days from the day following the day the tax authority receives the notice.
Check your counterparty's tax status: the counterparty company must be a value added tax payer. If, for whatever reason, the counterparty is not a VAT payer while your company is, you will not be able to use the tax credit later and recover the money already spent on paying VAT in place of your partner, since VAT is mandatory.
Primary documents underlying tax reporting must be kept by the taxpayer for at least 1095 days (2555 days for documents and information required for tax control over transfer pricing under Article 39 of the Tax Code of Ukraine) from the day the reporting compiled from them was filed, or, if it was not filed, from the filing deadline. A breach of the retention periods for primary documents is punishable by a fine of UAH 510.
If you receive a request for information and documents from the tax service, remember that such a request is signed by the head (deputy head) of the tax authority and must contain: the grounds for sending the request under this paragraph, with the information confirming them; the list of information requested and the list of documents to be provided; and the tax authority's seal. If the tax authority's request is drawn up in breach of these rules, the taxpayer is entitled not to provide the requested information or documents.
