Organizations that carry out financial activities are subject to tax audits every three years. Thus, the FTS controls the work of taxpayers. But in addition to scheduled inspections, there are also unscheduled ones. A tax audit for a manager is a "bundle" of nerves, a lot of wasted time, and sometimes a "sea" of negative consequences. Not surprisingly, accountants are wondering how to avoid these situations.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, understand that an unscheduled VAT check cannot be scheduled from scratch. That is, if you received a letter about the beginning of an on-site or office audit, it means that the tax authorities are dissatisfied with something or do not agree with the information received. For example, you have previously submitted a VAT report. A little later, you noticed an error in the declaration, which lies in the calculation. You immediately submit the revised VAT refund declaration. In this case, be sure that the check will follow within a short period of time.
Step 2
Thus, in order to avoid checking for VAT, be extremely careful when calculating the tax, do not make mistakes. Remember, it's best to double-check everything, or even three times. Before submitting the report, conduct a reconciliation with counterparties.
Step 3
If you fill out a VAT return using a program (for example, 1C), double-check the final result by manually recalculating the tax.
Step 4
To avoid VAT checks, increase your business revenue. That is, if your expense grows from quarter to quarter, the inspectors will be interested in this circumstance. Pay your payments on time as this can also reduce the risk of scheduling an on-site check. Submit all reports on time.
Step 5
Try not to change your registration address, as changing addresses too often may lead tax inspectors to think of a fly-by-night company.
Step 6
Unscheduled VAT inspections take place if your organization is engaged in the import or export of products or services. Therefore, if you do not want to have problems with the tax authorities, open a new company for such operations.
