A tax audit is a stressful situation for any (especially a young) company. In fact, if your conscience is clear, then there is no need to be afraid of the tax office. However, it is important to know your rights and how to behave correctly when checking.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that a tax audit will not just fall out of the blue. You will definitely be warned about the upcoming venture, so there will be enough time to prepare for it. If you feel that there may be something wrong with your company's accounting papers, then you should invite an independent auditor to identify the problems before checking. The services of such an expert cost good money, but problems with the tax office will cost you more.
Step 2
Be confident in the presence of a tax inspector. Provide him with all the requested papers and honestly answer questions. Do not try to "cajole" the inspector, this may cause unnecessary suspicion about your tax affairs, but you should not be rude and neglect politeness either.
Step 3
So that the presence of the tax office does not interfere with the usual working hours of your employees, try to optimally optimize the time and responsibilities of staff. For example, you can train employees to do the same job during an inspection so that they can replace each other while one of them is interrogated by an inspector.
Step 4
First of all, provide the inspector with those documents for the correctness of which you can vouch for yourself. Such tactics, firstly, will relax the vigilance of the examiner, and, secondly, will set him up for a more loyal attitude towards you. Do not be afraid to ask for advice yourself and encourage employees to do so. If you respect the inspector, you will feel the same on his part.
Step 5
Remember that the members of the tax commission are ordinary people who are not very pleased to see fear and despondency in the eyes of your company's employees. Try to set up your team in a positive way so that they are not afraid to smile at the inspector.
Step 6
It also happens that before the audit, you checked all the documentation and did not reveal any errors, but the tax inspectorate managed to find them. This is due to the fact that some legislative acts can only be understood by a professional. In this case, you should try to prove your case or appeal against the issued act in accordance with Article 137 of the Tax Code, so as not to pay large fines.
