In June 2024, an agricultural product distributor received a tax authority decision including it in the risky taxpayers’ list. Tax officials claimed the company lacked sufficient conditions for conducting business operations and did not have warehouse facilities for proper storage of product remains.
The enterprise disagreed with this decision and decided to appeal it. In August 2024, the company sought assistance from the Business Ombudsman Council.
During August and September 2024, the Council organized a case review with the tax authority within the framework of the Expert Group. The meeting addressed issues related to the company’s material and technical base and its operating conditions. In September 2024, the tax authority informed the Council about the company’s cooperation with two contractors considered risky. Tax officials indicated that the enterprise should refuse tax credit for transactions with these counterparties. However, the company had already done so. It provided documents confirming this step, including VAT declarations and relevant tax invoices.
Thanks to the Council’s active support, in October 2024, the tax authority removed the company from the risky taxpayers’ list.
