FBK Legal at IRSOT Conference on Tax Control

On 22 April, Alexander Grigoriev participated in the eighth conference organised by IRSOT and titled “Tax Control 2022: Key Trends, Challenges and Prospects”. This time, the conference was focused on controversial business transactions from the tax control perspective.

The Federal Tax Service continues to equip itself with new instruments to combat tax evasion trying to find indications of a sham transaction in any business transaction. Attendees of the event discussed which business transactions may be scrutinised by tax authorities, which areas are checked by the Federal Tax Services and how to protect your business.

Alexander answered one of the questions about whether intercompany services are still in the centre of attention of tax authorities. The lawyer analysed how courts react to an argument about the lack of damage to the budget in the group, explained how to check whether the transaction was real and listed risk factors associated with service fees.
