The speaker also spoke about the tools to protect businesses in the tax reconstruction. In particular, the application of article 54.1 of the tax code. Under it, the taxpayer is not allowed to reduce the tax base or the amount of tax as a result of misrepresentation of business activities. For this it is important to prove the reality of the fulfillment of obligations and interaction with the counterparty.
