Ilyashev & Partners has successfully defended Vitmark-Ukraine in the Ukrainian Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine against charges of an illegal decrease of negative profit tax by the tax authorities.
Ilyashev & Partners Partner Maksym Kopeychykov, legal counsel in the case, noted that consideration by the Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine of the cassation appeal proves that it is possible to reach justice in Ukraine even in cases against the tax authorities, if the legal position is compelling, and the taxpayer carries out business activities in compliance with the law. “I have always believed that colleagues speaking of 'impossibility of dealing with the state due to the pressure of public agencies on the courts' are somewhat disingenuous as experience has proven the opposite.”
Vitmark-Ukraine is the largest Ukrainian producer of juices, nectars, juice-based and soft drinks, baby food, puree and concentrated semi-finished products. The company was founded in 1994.
