The award of 86 thousand cases. 88% of them "won" the tax, however, the cash equivalent of their "victory" did not look so confident - 46.7 billion hryvnia to 34 billion hryvnia. For entrepreneurs the situation has changed for the better - the 2011 Tax "won" 94.6% of legal disputes.

The amounts of claims to the business can reach several tens of millions of hryvnia. For example, a large sum in Kiev in 2012, on the basis of litigation with tax pay to B & H - 23,6 million hryvnia.

As previously reported, the execution of a judgment for the recovery of the fine may further complicate the tax appeals. Often, a tax audit, together with the act of checking the tax inspector of the protocol on administrative violation, for example, provided for in Article 163-1 of the Code of Administrative Offences "Violation of the order of tax accounting ..."

In view of the insignificance of the liability of a fine (from 85 to 170 USD) economic entities often do not pay adequate attention to such protocols and regardless of agreement or disagreement with the results of tax audits often admit guilt in the offense. One motivation: the time spent on the defense of the legal position in the case of administrative violation, provided they are much more expensive fine.
