We assist with tax audits, challenge State Tax Service decisions and assess the tax implications of transactions in Moldova.
We review documents and assess potential losses.
Focus
SFS inspectors begin a deep audit of your operations, requesting massive volumes of primary documentation and summoning counterparties for cross-checks.
Following an audit, the tax service issued a decision to reassess VAT, income tax, and impose huge penalties threatening the company.
You are planning a complex transaction and need to assess the risks of double taxation and potential tax penalties.
Our understanding of tax and court practice helps us build a well-reasoned position in complex tax disputes.
When the audit act is already on the table and the business needs a challenge strategy.
When transactions and tax requests already require an ongoing tax filter.
When an IT company needs to check residency, single-tax treatment, and contract-model risks.
When the audit has to be controlled from the inspector's first request.
When the group already carries double-taxation and transfer-pricing risk.
When the tax dispute is already starting to hit the director and accountant personally.
When the deal has to be built so tax does not destroy the economics afterward.
Court decisions speak louder than promises. Typical examples of protecting businesses from fiscal pressure.
A distribution company was reassessed over 3 million lei in VAT due to subcontractor bad faith.
We dissected the audit act, gathered proof of real operations, and drove the dispute to a full cancellation of the sanctions.
We proved the reality of operations and client's due diligence. The SFS decision was fully annulled.
The tax service blocked corporate accounts of a logistics company during a lengthy audit, paralyzing international shipments.
We launched an urgent challenge, showed the disproportionality of the measure, and quickly restored access to the accounts.
Through emergency judicial review, we obtained recognition of the seizure as disproportionate. Accounts were unblocked within 72 hours.
A foreign holding was fined for allegedly artificially lowering prices when selling software to the parent company.
We brought in independent transfer-pricing expertise and built a strong pre-trial position against the sanctions.
We engaged independent international auditors for a Transfer Pricing File report and challenged the sanctions pre-trial. The pressure was lifted.
A strong position in a tax dispute is built before court proceedings begin. Our strategy is based on careful preparation of every relevant document.
We analyze the audit report or SFS decision together with your chief accountant. We evaluate the legality of the inspector's conclusions.

Short answers to what is usually worth clarifying before the first consultation.
Whenever there is already a risk of an audit, a sensitive transaction, reassessments, account freezes, or questions around the tax burden structure. The earlier the position and documents are assembled, the better the chances of keeping the issue out of crisis mode.
In many cases yes, if the act, documents, calculations, and procedural failures are reviewed quickly and then a pre-trial and litigation line is built. What matters here is not emotion but a precise legal position built around numbers and procedure.
Usually the audit report, tax decisions and notices, key primary documents, contracts, and a short explanation of where you see the risk or unfairness are enough. If the file is incomplete, work can still start from the current picture and defense priorities.
