Tax audits often present significant challenges for businesses, especially when large financial claims are involved. A well-known restaurant in Tashkent faced a tax authority’s demand for UZS 1.5 billion, but the imposed charges were successfully challenged in court.
The complexity of this case lay in identifying procedural violations committed by the tax inspection during the audit, particularly in the execution of a control purchase. The PraeLegal Uzbekistan team conducted a thorough legal analysis, reviewing tax audit documents, procedural compliance, and witness statements from restaurant employees. This meticulous examination uncovered critical errors that ultimately served as the basis for dismissing the tax authority’s claims.
Through a well-structured defense strategy, our team, with the participation of Attorney Ato Narziev, a specialist in Tax and Customs Law, under the leadership of Managing Partner Davranbek Ahmatov, successfully demonstrated the invalidity of the tax authority’s decisions. The court fully upheld the defense’s position, ruling the tax audit results invalid. This case marks a significant victory for PraeLegal Uzbekistan in the field of tax disputes, reaffirming the firm’s expertise in protecting business interests.
