FISCAL CONTROL
Fiscal control and tax audit aim to examine how the company fulfils the obligations arising from applicable tax laws, at the same time examining compliance of the factual state with the legal status which is desired by the legislator. Carrying auditing activities should be preceded by a notice of intention to initiate a tax audit, whereby this principle may be subject to exception in certain cases; the most significant example is performing checks on the legitimacy of the tax difference return or return of input VAT tax.
Despite the fact that the organ performing audit is encumbered with the burden of evidence and taking any steps necessary to a fair and comprehensive examination of all the facts of the case, the active participation of the taxpayer at any stage of the proceedings is extremely important for the outcome of the fiscal control. Therefore, the taxpayer has a real opportunity to defend their interests.
