The dynamics of changes in tax law has taken on such a pace that not only taxpayers are no longer keeping up with changes in regulations, but also with tax authorities. If we add to this the existence of vaguely formulated rules that could cause disputes in terms of interpretation – no one should be surprised that this situation is increasingly causing tax checks and disputes with tax.
So what do you do this time when the controller selects your company for control or tax proceedings?
Assistance of a professional proxy
Our many years of experience in defence of taxpayers' interests in disputes with tax authorities allows us to conclude that it is very important to use the help of a professional proxy at an early stage in the activities of the authorities. It is then a good chance that a proxy who has experience in conducting proceedings before tax authorities will conduct the whole process in the most advantageous way for your interests.

The professional representative should ensure that both the procedural rules on the basis of which the powers of control are based and that the control or proceedings carried out by the authority itself do not jeopardise the functioning of the business, i.e. that the company can operate without the risk of defaulting from the contracts or planned projects.
Be a step ahead of the tax
The appointment of a proxy already at an early stage of the activities of the tax authority is guaranteed to you by law and significantly increases the chances of a positive conclusion of the case, often at all without entering into a dispute with the tax authority. However, if at an earlier stage the proxy has not been established, it is very important to immediately appoint a professional proxy so that it joins the proceedings as soon as possible.
Professional aid is essential that, both during tax checks and in subsequent proceedings, the legal provisions provide for precise deadlines for carrying out procedural acts, after which it will in principle be ineffective.
An example can be given of the right of the controlled person to raise objections to the control protocol issued by the tax authority where the taxpayer disagrees (in whole or in part) with the control arrangements.
The provisions provide for a deadline fourteen the days for the submission of objections and the substantial procedural consequences for the taxpayer relating to the failure to comply with that deadline – the failure to raise objections to the control protocol within the time limit fourteen the days give rise to the presumption that the taxable person fully agrees with the control arrangements.
In practice, this may mean severe financial consequences for a controlled person who, despite being right and doing the right thing, could not prove his point effectively and demonstrate them in the tax procedure.
