TRANSCRIPT
SYUTKIN AND PARTNERS FIRM OF ATTORNEY
TAXATION
Kyiv, Ukraine
This practice focuses on legal assistance / services to businesses in the event of charge of additional tax liabilities and application of fines (penalties) by tax authorities. The protection of rights and interests of taxpayers in disputes with tax authorities of all levels, in courts of all levels and in law enforcement agencies is the most sensitive issue for businesses in this law practice.
We draw the attention of representatives of businesses to the fact that "innocent-at-first-sight" protocols on administrative violations may provide the basis for the respective body to transfer the case to the prosecutor and to instigate prosecution with respect to the officers of the company.

Successful cases A companyWe were approached by a large foreign company which over the previous 8
years had been constantly involved in litigations with tax authorities on additional corporate profit tax, value added tax, and decrease of gross expenses of the company.
A problemLegal advisers rendering legal services to the client before us predicted a
positive court decision for that client only in the "European Court of Human Rights." The outcome of those litigations was crucial for our client to decide on whether to continue doing business in Ukraine or to close it, as the aggregate amount of all the claims was almost equal to the value of all assets of the company. The client briefed us to develop the respective plan and minimize legal risks in the shortest possible terms.

SolutionOur company tackled the task with a comprehensive approach.
We started off with an active work on criminal cases against the company’s senior officers, which resulted in a change of the position in the litigations. We also developed a sustained legal stand which changed the vector of further court hearings. As a result of our comprehensive approach, our client not only succeeded in the litigations and closed the criminal proceedings (with respect to senior officers of the company), but also received VAT refund which it had tried to collect for more than 8 years: to be further used for successful development of business and new projects in Ukraine.
