KTC Tax Talk – Essential Notes for Tax Audit and Inspection

Constantly evolving tax regulations in recent years have made it increasingly difficult for businesses to avoid compliance errors — even unintentional ones. At the same time, tax authorities are utilizing technology increasingly to cross-check data, detect anomalies, and intensify tax audits, inspections, and penalty enforcement on a broad scale. Many businesses only recognize their exposure when undergoing Tax audit/ inspection, leading to the potential for significant penalties and tax collection for many consecutive financial years.

This Tax Talk focuses on the practical challenges businesses commonly face when working directly with tax authorities during the Tax finalization process — from day-to-day compliance with records and documentation, to handling arising issues, navigating the audit and inspection procedures to respond appropriately to tax authorities and minimize tax risks. Russell Bedford KTC is pleased to host this Tax Talk with our expert speakers to share real-world insights and help businesses proactively manage risks before engaging with the tax authorities.

Key Discussion Topics:

The Tax Talk is specifically designed to address the most “pressing” and practical issues in the current environment:

• Reviewing accounting books and supporting documents to identify risk loopholes periodically or prior to the issuance of a tax audit/ inspection decision.  
• Identifying and analyzing common issues regarding undeductible expenses (CIT), risks from salary and benefit policies (PIT), VAT deduction conditions…
• Managing invoice risks, including information accuracy and consistency, checking for the use of invoices from “runaway” companies, and minimizing related tax administrative violations.  
• Standard procedures in tax audits and inspections: Effective working steps, cooperation, and appropriate responses from businesses during the tax inspection/audit process.  
• Addressing real-world situations, you might face before or during a tax audit/inspection with our experts.
