Taxes

Tax legislation of Ukraine is rather complex and contradictory. Additional expertize in taxation by an experienced legal counsel plays significant role in day-to-day business activity, even for the companies that have their own accounting departments.  We help our clients to find optimal tax solutions, represent them before tax authorities, and provide legal support during tax inspections. Tax litigation is an independent sphere of our practice.

In 2008 our tax litigators successfully represented:

• Construction Corporation “VELTON” before the first instance court and a court of appeals in a lawsuit to invalidate certain decisions by tax authorities;
• UKRGAZDOYCH Subsidiary Company in the lawsuit against the Balakliya District Tax Authority of the Kharkiv Region to annul the Authority's tax claims. The client was exempt from paying the amount of more than UAH 133 million;
• State Enterprise plant “Electrotyazhmash” in the lawsuit against a specialized tax authority for major taxpayers to invalidate the fines in the amount of more than UAH 1.6 million.  The claims were satisfied in the amount of more than UAH 1.4. million.

We offer our clients the following services:

• Advising and legal opinions on different issues of Ukrainian tax legislation;
• Evaluation of tax consequences in business transactions and tax planning;
• Support during inspections by state tax authorities;
• Tax litigation.
