FMCG

The client, with the support of Tax Compliance, applied to court for suspension of the tax authority's decision based on the results of an on-site tax audit. Enforcement of that decision could have caused considerable damage to the company and paralyzed its activity, taking into consideration the substantial amount of tax charges that could have been critical for the client's business.

We managed to work out a convincing legal position, based on which the court took interim measures. Representatives of the tax authority appealed the interim measures, but thanks to the efforts of our lawyers the court ruling was upheld, despite the fact that according to statistics less than 37% of applications for interim measures are satisfied by the courts.

At the time of drawing up and submission of notifications to the tax authorities the statute of limitations under p. 1 of Article 129.6 of the Tax Code had not expired, i.e. the client still had the risk of tax liability for untimely disclosure of information about the CFC. In order to exclude tax liability for failure to submit CFC notifications for previous tax periods, the client was provided with services to prepare a special tax declaration allowing to apply the tax amnesty under the Federal Law of May 29, 2019 № 110-FZ within the voluntary declaration of their assets. Also within the framework of the project we assessed the grounds for the absence of an individual's obligations to withhold personal income tax from the profit of a CFC.

As a result of legal defense, tax liability and penalties for late submission of CFC notifications due to the application of tax amnesty provisions were avoided

Price adjustment would have entailed an additional charge of income tax on the formed tax base based on the market prices of the transaction. The project developed a legal position indicating that the formed pricing corresponds to the market level, because the calculation of the cost of the taxpayer's goods contains production costs, economically justified in terms of the type of activity.

As a result of the successful legal defense, additional tax assessments in the amount of 280 million ₽ were avoided.

A business model was proposed and implemented where the company is organized in the form of a production cooperative. The members of the production cooperative do not receive a salary, but a share of the net profit; these payments are not subject to insurance premiums according to the current tax legislation.

As a result of the introduction of the production cooperative, transactions within the holding company were structured, resulting in a reduction in insurance premiums of more than 20% of the annual payroll.

The company incorrectly calculated and paid Social Insurance Fund contributions for three years. The company's specialists audited personnel documents, as well as all tax returns and payments to the funds.

Tax Compliance specialists conducted a tax and personnel audit, restored personnel documents for three years and prepared revised tax returns. As a result, more than 30 million rubles of overpaid insurance premiums were returned from the budget.
