Ukrainian tax legislation is one of the most complicated (and frequently changing) areas of law. Our goal is to minimize the risks and tax burden on your company, while making your transactions safe and effective. The Frishberg team analyzes tax implications of different types of business transactions, including import-export agreements, agency agreements, mergers and acquisitions, and provides practical, top-notch tax advice that addresses your most important legal needs.
Importantly, we are well-equipped to defend our clients’ interests in case of any disputes with the Ukrainian tax authorities. We begin by reviewing all related documents in order to assess the validity of the tax authorities’ position and evaluate the legal outcome of the tax dispute. Our attorneys use their best efforts to settle any issue by negotiations, but at the same time we are well-positioned to provide step-by-step advice in the context of litigation, including drafting petitions and representing your interests before Ukrainian courts of law.
