Advance tax ruling is binding for tax authorities. From taxpayer’s perspective advance ruling is an official approach of tax authorities regarding specific transactions. Taxpayer that acts in accordance with advance ruling is protected by law from any charges and sanctions.

The whole advance ruling process from application to tax authorities to the official reply from them consists of discussions and debates between tax authorities and taxpayer and our involvement in the process is also necessary.

According to the tax code, taxpayer shall not act in accordance with the advance tax ruling if the facts and circumstances referred in an advance tax ruling do not correspond to the real situation or do not provide a complete picture. Thus it is very important that taxpayer describes in details factual circumstances related to the subject of advance ruling when making an application to the tax authority.
