Russian companies expect from tax monitoring for saving forces
When moving to the tax monitoring mode, companies are faced with the need to modernize internal control systems – as the study of the trust technology company notes, the volume of improvements and costs on them depends on the development of companies, volume and complexity of activity.

In this regard, the expectations of companies are focused on reducing the number of requests from the tax authorities (62%), the settlement of complex issues with motivated views (56%), as well as a decrease in the load on the tax unit (33%). Expectations met more than 80% completely or at least partially. The number of requests from the tax authorities in 41% of companies decreased slightly, in 22% – it is noticeable, in a third it has preserved. The costs of tax administration decreased in 16%, in 50% remained at the same level, 25% slightly increased, and in 9% increased within 20%. Most companies also received a motivated opinion: on their own initiative – 37%, and 26% at the request of the tax authorities. 15% did not request him, but they gather, and 37% do not plan. Among the reasons for the refusal are the unclear procedure, temporary costs and lack of need.
