Legal support in challenging the auditing results

If a sole trader or a company manager objects to results of tax auditing, law entitles them to appeal against a tax authority’s decision. This procedure is regulated by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. To achieve the desired result, the procedure and deadlines for filing a complaint as well as requirements to its form and content must be complied with. To substantiate demands stated in the complaint, relevant documents must be attached. Any individual or entity whose interests are concerned or affected by results of the tax auditing are entitled to appeal against a tax authority’s decision.

According to law, a decision passed by a local tax authority may be appealed against to a superior tax authority or superior official. The right to object to tax authorities’ decisions must be exercised within three months (on appeal) or one year (in the regular manner) after receipt. No one may go to court without observing the pretrial administrative procedure of appealing against the tax auditing decision.

Then, officials must consider the received complaint and attached documents within the period established by the Tax Code and, upon such consideration, decide whether to revoke, partially amend, or left unchanged the decision passed by a lower tax authority concerning imposing liability on a taxpayer for violations.
