QUESTION-ANSWER

Is it possible to recover attorney’s fees in a dispute with a state body?

See the answer

According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the costs incurred by the party of the dispute (whether the plaintiff or the defendant), including the payment of attorney’s fees and state fees, will be reimbursed by the party that lost the legal process. In other words, if a dispute with a state body is resolved in favor of a legal entity, then it can demand reimbursement of its court costs from a public authority.

Why has the local tax office blocked a bank account without warning?

See the answer

To ensure the fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees, the tax authority, as a rule, chooses the most effective and extremely uncomfortable way for a business - the suspension of operations in a bank account.

The tax authority sends to the bank its decision on the restriction of cash flow. If the bank received a decision from the tax office to freeze the account, then it is obliged to accept it for execution. Unfortunately, it is not possible to know in advance about the upcoming blocking, as in accordance with Art. 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the taxpayer is obliged to independently and timely transfer money to budgets.

In which court should the company file a claim to appeal the decision of the state?

See the answer

Challenging non-regulatory legal acts, decisions and actions (inaction) of government officials is carried out under Chapter 24 of the APC of the RF.

Citizens and organizations can apply to the court if they believe that the contested non-regulatory legal act, decision and action (inaction) do not comply with the law or other regulatory legal act and violate their rights and legitimate interests in business and other economic activities, illegally impose any duties and create other obstacles for their business and activities.
