Tax Review

Everyone who is involved in any business activities – entrepreneurs or international corporations – has thought about doing a tax and legal review (tax audit).

Firstly, tax legislation is constantly changing, and the control of tax authorities is increasing. Secondly, while seeking ways to reduce expenses, companies are trying to save on paying taxes, since tax payments compose a substantial part of a their expenditure. Under these circumstances, a taxpayer is particularly interested in doing a tax and legal review (tax audit) of their business activities.

A tax and legal review (tax audit) is an internal examination, during which tax and legal experts are verifying if the taxpayers are calculating taxes and fees correctly and if tax optimisation used by clients is up-to-date.

During a tax and legal review (tax audit), the following jobs are carried out:

  • Verification of the calculation of taxable base of main taxes: income tax, VAT, Unified Social Tax (ESN), Personal Income Tax (NDFL), property tax and transport tax;
  • Assessment of the conformity of the tax calculation system with current legislation;
  • Analysis of tax optimisation methods used by taxpayers;
  • Development of new opportunities to reduce tax liabilities.
