Has the tax authority excluded expenses from your CIT deductions and VAT from your offset for transactions with an unreliable supplier, or a supplier convicted of issuing fictitious invoices? Or has it filed a lawsuit to have your transactions declared invalid? We prove that you actually received the goods, works and services, and we preserve your deductions and offsets: in objections during the audit, in a complaint to the Ministry of Finance and in court. We have been handling tax disputes since 2017 and have defended deductions on transactions worth hundreds of millions of tenge. We work throughout Kazakhstan. Fees: a fixed fee from KZT 1,500,000 plus a success fee as a percentage of the amount defended.

We examine all transaction documentation, the chain of movement of goods/services, financial flows, and actual circumstances of contract execution.

We gather direct and indirect evidence of the transaction’s reality: acceptance certificates, transport documents, correspondence, witness statements, expert opinions.

We request additional supporting documents from suppliers and partners, restore missing links in the supply chain.

We prepare a detailed analysis of the business purpose of the transaction, its impact on the company's financial indicators, and the reasonableness of commercial terms.

We build argumentation taking into account current judicial practice, clarifications from higher courts, and the specifics of your situation.

We participate in all court instances, present evidence, examine witnesses, challenge the conclusions of the tax authority and expert assessments.

We achieve recognition of transactions as valid and the right to tax deductions, establish a document flow system to minimize such risks.
