Tax dispute lawyer in Georgia | Tbilisi business advice
Appeals involving tax assessments, customs matters, fines and documentation under Georgian tax law.
This is an overview of common legal questions and risks. The precise engagement, representation and fee depend on the facts, conflict checks and documents. No legal outcome is guaranteed.
1. Understand the tax demand
Separate principal tax, penalty and interest, identify the audit findings and assess the documents supporting each component.
2. Appeal and deadline
Tax and customs disputes have specialized rules and time limits; a general civil-law approach may be insufficient.
3. Documents and accounting evidence
Reconcile invoices, accounting records, shipping declarations, notices and counterpart correspondence rather than relying on one document alone.
4. Possible resolution
Assess procedural appeal, evidence correction and settlement options where permitted. The result depends on facts and current law.
5. Audit each transaction, not merely the total
Disaggregate principal tax, interest and penalties transaction by transaction. Compare audit findings with contracts, waybills, payments and performance records. Where a transaction has been reclassified, examine the statutory authority and the law in effect when the liability arose.
Documents to prepare
- Relevant administrative decisions and notifications
- Applications, contracts and evidence
- Correspondence and dated chronology
- Previous appeals, if any
Common questions
Can an accounting error be treated the same as a sham transaction?
No. The factual basis, evidentiary record and statutory grounds for any reassessment must be examined separately.
