General Rules of Tax Control

Under Article 255 of the Tax Code, tax control over a person’s activity is exercised only by the tax authority — other supervisory and law-enforcement bodies are forbidden from doing so. The control procedures must not, within reasonable limits, disrupt the usual rhythm of the person’s activity or halt it. The forms of tax control are current control and a tax inspection. Control proceeds without a judge’s warrant, except in cases directly provided for by the Code; without a warrant it is prohibited to re-examine an already examined issue for the same period, except on issues for which the person submits an amended declaration for the examined period. Where necessary, a specialist or expert may be invited, and an inspection initiated at the taxpayer’s request proceeds without a warrant.
