An advertising company

A large advertising company had conducted an on-site audit, during which they were preliminarily charged significant amounts of additional charges, indicating the client’s failure to exercise due diligence when working with service providers.
​
We conducted a tax audit of transactions, a tax analysis of the tax authority’s claims, and provided tax support for the subsequent on-site audit, including holding presentation meetings with employees and contractors for proper preparation for their questioning at the inspectorate.
​
As a result of the actions following the on-site audit, the Client was charged an additional amount reduced by half. While sending objections and an appeal, evidence of the reality of services purchased from suppliers was presented, based on the materials of the advertising projects of the service customers.
​
After the consideration of the appeal, the higher tax authority overturned the on-site audit decision.
​
This case demonstrates the importance of preliminary tax analysis of inspectors’ claims during an on-site audit, development of a preliminary position and high-quality audit support. All these aspects allow for reducing claims at the audit stage and developing a position for litigation at the audit stage.
