Tax audit support — protecting your business interests

What is tax audit support

Tax audit support — sometimes called tax inspection support — is legal and professional support of the company at all stages of interaction with the tax authority: from receiving the audit notice to appealing the results. UHY Prostir represents the client’s interests during the audit and prepares documents that reduce the risk of negative consequences.

Types of tax audits

• Documentary scheduled — carried out according to the approved audit schedule.
• Documentary unscheduled — ordered on specific grounds outside the schedule.
• Factual audits — carried out without notice, usually concerning cash payments, hiring of staff, and turnover of excisable goods.
• Counter-checks — verification of information on transactions with your counterparties.

Will your company end up on the audit plan

The State Tax Service publishes a schedule of planned tax audits every year. Companies with elevated tax risk end up on the plan more often. It is also important to track whether a moratorium applies to certain types of audits in the current period — this affects whether the tax authority may start an audit at all. We help clients assess the likelihood of an audit and prepare in advance.

How audit support works

• Analysis of the audit notice — we check the legality of the grounds and deadlines.
• Document preparation — we organize the source documentation the tax authority may request.
• Representation during the audit — a specialist is present and communicates with the tax officials on behalf of the company.
• Analysis of the audit report — we assess the validity of the conclusions.
• Appeal if needed — administrative or judicial appeal of the audit results if they violate the company’s rights.

Who these services are for

Support is relevant for limited liability companies (LLCs) of any size, representative offices of foreign companies and non-profit organizations — each of these categories has its own specifics of interaction with the tax authority, which we take into account during support.

How much does tax audit support cost

The cost depends on the type of audit, its duration and the volume of documents to prepare. We provide an exact quote after a short consultation on your situation.
