Legal defence in tax disputes and appeals against decisions in Kyiv

In the Ukrainian business environment, tax disputes have become an integral part of economic life, even for the most responsible and conscientious taxpayers. In Kyiv, where the headquarters of large corporations, foreign investors and companies with high turnover and complex ownership structures are concentrated, the risk of tax audits, tax invoice blocking, and additional tax assessments are extremely high.

The PRAGNUM team is not just a group of lawyers who understand tax law. They are specialists in strategic business protection who handle complex, multi-level cases against tax authorities, achieving results that have financial and reputational value for our clients.

We work on important tax cases involving large sums of money, risks of business loss, blocking of activities, or personal liability of managers. PRAGNUM does not provide formal free consultations. We only take on cases that require a high level of expertise, strategic thinking, and an impeccable legal reputation.

Tax dispute lawyer in Kyiv - professional legal assistance

In what cases is the assistance of PRAGNUM lawyers required?

Tax disputes can arise even in companies that strictly comply with the law. Experience shows that in most cases the reason lies not with the taxpayer, but with the ambiguity of interpretations of the law, the formal approach of regulatory authorities, or mistakes made by inspectors.

• We get involved when the situation goes beyond the scope of ordinary legal support:
• Appealing decisions of the tax authorities in Kyiv: unlawful additional charges of VAT, income tax, single social contribution, excise tax, etc.
• Appealing tax notices, tax claims, penalties (appealing fines in Kyiv) — both administratively and through the courts.
• Protecting businesses during audits, including preparing documents, responding to tax authority requests, and having a lawyer present during the audit.
• Support for court proceedings in Kyiv at all levels — from district courts to the Supreme Court.
• Resolution of tax disputes involving significant amounts or potential reputational consequences.
• Strategic support in complex cases where it is necessary not only to overturn the tax authority's decision, but also to protect the business from further risks.

Tax disputes in Kyiv: specifics, risks and challenges.

Tax disputes in Kyiv require not only knowledge of the law, but also a deep understanding of local specifics — the practices of regional courts, the approaches of regulatory authorities, and methods of fiscal pressure.

The main risks include:

• blocking of tax invoices and actual suspension of the enterprise's activities;
• additional charges of significant amounts of VAT or profit with minimal justification;
• unfounded imposition of fines on officials;
• deprivation of tax credit due to the actions of counterparties;
• recognition of agreements as fictitious or refusal to refund VAT.

It is practically impossible to resolve such issues on your own — you need a team of lawyers with a deep understanding of tax procedures, court practice, and strategic risk management.

What do we offer?

The PRAGNUM team provides comprehensive legal support for tax disputes — from analysing the situation to the final enforcement of the court decision.

Legal expertise in tax disputes.

We conduct a detailed audit of documents, financial statements, audit reports, and tax requests. We assess the real risks, form a legal position, predict possible consequences and propose the optimal defence strategy.

Administrative appeal.

This is one of the important stages that sometimes allows disputes to be resolved without going to court. We prepare and submit complaints to the State Tax Service, participate in hearings, and argue the client's position based on case law, financial evidence, and the provisions of the Tax Code of Ukraine.

Legal protection.

If the tax authority refuses to satisfy the complaint, we proceed to a judicial appeal. PRAGNUM lawyers represent clients' interests in all instances of administrative courts in Kyiv, including the Kyiv District Administrative Court, the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court.

We prepare lawsuits, explanations, objections, procedural documents, ensure participation in hearings, and work with experts and financiers.

Defence during audits.

We accompany clients during tax audits — from the moment of receiving the notification to signing the act.

Our lawyers provide:

• presence during the audit;
• control over the legality of the actions of tax authorities;
• timely submission of objections;
• preparation of written explanations;
• prompt response to unlawful demands.

Support in resolving tax disputes.

When the issue goes beyond the scope of ordinary legal proceedings, we use negotiation and mediation tools. This allows us to avoid escalation, preserve the client's business reputation and achieve a favourable solution without going to court.

Stages of our work.

Initial audit of the situation.

At this stage, we conduct a full legal and financial examination of the case. We analyse audit reports, tax decisions, accounting documents, and the client's previous actions. We form an objective assessment of the chances of success and propose the optimal course of action.

Development of a defence strategy.

We develop a bespoke strategy for each client, identifying key arguments, selecting relevant case law and preparing a legal position that enables us to defend their rights effectively in administrative or judicial proceedings.

Procedural support.

At this stage, we take over all communication with the tax authorities, prepare documents, represent the client's interests in court, and monitor the timing and correctness of the proceedings. Our lawyers are personally present at the hearings and provide evidentiary support for the position.

Additional support.

After the dispute is resolved, we continue to work with the client — we provide advice on future tax risks, implement preventive control mechanisms, and prepare recommendations for reducing the tax burden and avoiding repeat disputes.
