Recently, the tax authorities' control over the activities of enterprises has significantly increased. Meanwhile, Russian legislation does not prohibit defending one's own interests in all possible ways that do not contradict it.
Instructions
Step 1
Often, while awaiting a tax audit, taxpayers check the integrity, completeness and accuracy of accounting and other documentation. Of course, this is correct, but there are still other measures that will help reduce the risk of negative consequences of tax inspections.
Step 2
Usually, the information that is of interest to the inspectors is obtained by them not only from official documents and business correspondence, but also from conversations with staff. Therefore, all employees should be instructed that explanations to the tax authorities should be given only within the framework of the functions performed. Information should be provided only about the work of your department and only about your site. At the same time, the head of the procurement department should not tell the inspectors about the work of the transport department, and the employee of the production site should not tell about what is happening in the financial department.
Step 3
In addition, employees should not voice their assumptions and guesses. If the question of the tax authorities caught a company employee by surprise, he may not answer immediately, but consult with the person responsible for the tax audit.
Step 4
Another tool to reduce the negative consequences of the risks of a tax audit is its kind of rehearsal - an audit. As a result of the audit, the risk of violations in the field of tax legislation is reduced, the likelihood of conflict situations with representatives of the tax inspectorate is reduced, and financial losses in the form of fines and penalties are minimized.
Step 5
Directly during the audit, you need to get your hands on the "Decision on an on-site tax audit". It must contain a link to the audited period, a list of taxes to be audited, information about the auditors. It would be nice to clarify with the inspection whether an inspection of your enterprise was actually scheduled. There are situations when false inspectors visit firms.
