Tax Audit

Tax audit is a specialized service aimed at conducting an independent assessment of a company’s tax accounting and reporting system. This process plays a crucial role in identifying and rectifying errors and violations that could lead to significant financial losses and penalties from regulatory authorities. The importance of tax audit for businesses cannot be overstated, particularly in a dynamic regulatory environment where tax laws are continually evolving, and compliance requirements are becoming increasingly stringent.

Objectives and Purpose of Tax Audit

The primary goal of a tax audit is to ensure that all of a company’s tax-related processes comply with current legislation. During the audit, a comprehensive analysis of the tax accounting system is conducted to identify potential errors and violations, as well as to develop recommendations for their correction. A tax audit can be either voluntary, initiated by the company itself, or mandatory, particularly in preparation for planned inspections by tax authorities.

Key Areas of Tax Audit

A tax audit covers the following critical aspects of tax accounting and reporting:

• Verification of Tax Base Calculation: Our experts assess the correctness of the tax base formation, including the analysis of all applied rates and benefits. This step is crucial in minimizing tax risks and preventing potential disputes with tax authorities.
• Analysis of Tax Liabilities: We verify the completeness and accuracy of tax and fee accruals. If discrepancies are identified, the company receives recommendations on how to correct them.
• Evaluation of Tax Reporting: We check the accuracy and timeliness of the preparation and submission of tax declarations and reports. This includes a thorough analysis of all submitted documents to ensure compliance with legislative requirements.
• Audit of Special Tax Regimes: If the company uses special tax regimes, our auditors review the correctness of their application and compliance with established norms.

When is a Tax Audit Necessary?

A tax audit is recommended in the following scenarios:

• Before Planned Inspections: An audit helps to identify and correct potential errors before they are discovered by regulatory authorities, helping to avoid fines and other penalties.
• During Leadership or Key Personnel Changes: New management or accounting staff need assurance that the company’s tax reporting is accurate and fully compliant with the law.
• When Errors in Tax Reporting are Found: If errors are discovered in tax declarations, an audit helps to promptly correct them, minimizing risks and losses.
• For Tax Payment Optimization: A tax audit can also be conducted to assess the current tax burden and explore opportunities for its optimization within the framework of existing legislation.
