Tax disputes

The duty of taxpayers is to pay taxes on time in full. The tax authorities, in turn, monitor the execution of this duty. However, their actions are often against the law. Acts on additional accrual of taxes already paid are issued, and as a result of inspections, subjects are brought to tax liability. Such actions impede the normal economic activity of enterprises and form a distrust of the actions of the tax authorities. In addition, the tax system in modern Russia is a complex set of at times repetitive and contradictory institutions.

In 2017, in Russian courts, 3,946,441 cases of recovery of compulsory payments and sanctions were examined, of which 96.6% (3,814,084) were about collection of taxes and fees. In total, 4,329,400 cases arising from public relations were considered, of which the proportion of cases involving the collection of taxes and fees was 88%. In courts out of 518,146 cases arising from public relations, 45,674 cases (9%) are related to the application of tax legislation. Of the total number of cases considered by courts, such disputes amounted to 3%.

As can be seen from judicial statistics, tax issues are highly relevant in the current system.

2. Bringing to responsibility the tax authorities.
