Account block by the STIR system

When the Tax Office blocks a company account, every hour counts. In Lublin and the surrounding area, the STIR system regularly targets entrepreneurs for inspection, often without giving a specific reason in the first letter. Sarmatia Risk Control has been analyzing such decisions since 2017. We check if the office had the right to freeze funds for 72 hours, or maybe extended this period to 3 months without solid evidence. Offices don't wait, so we act immediately after receiving a scan of the decision.

Rescue for financial liquidity

In March 2024, we helped the owner of a local transport company whose 83,420 PLN was blocked. The block occurred on Thursday after 3:00 PM, which made it impossible to pay salaries for 14 employees. We prepared an application for the release of amounts for salaries and public-law levies within 5 hours. The office approved the request in 2 business days, which allowed avoiding labor inspection penalties and maintaining peace in the company. The end of stress with inspections starts with a quick reaction to paper calls.

Defense during a VAT inspection

Cross-inspections are a daily reality for trading companies. We verify the reliability of your contractors and check entries in the VAT White List. If the office questions the right to tax deduction, we analyze the supply chain to prove your due diligence. In 2023, we conducted 38 such proceedings, where the average value of the disputed amount was 42,150 PLN. Concrete defense is based on facts, not on general assurances of honesty that officials do not take into account.

Tax refunds and official deadlines

A disputed point is often VAT refunds, which the office holds for more than the statutory 60 days. In one case, we recovered 47,280 PLN of overdue refund for a client along with interest for 12 days of the office's delay. We monitor deadlines and write reminders to the Tax Administration Chamber when the local office delays a decision without giving a reason. We do not allow your money to lie idle in the state account while you need it for goods or fuel.

Relief in payment of liabilities

We prepare applications for installments of arrears or their cancellation in random situations. We help gather evidence of a taxpayer's important interest, which is key for a de minimis aid application. Sarmatia Risk Control does not deal with accounting, but with what happens when the accountant shrugs her shoulders. We act at the intersection of law and finance, representing your interests in Lublin at Lipowa 4 and before authorities throughout the region. We check every dot in the inspection protocol because one official error can be a chance to win the dispute.

Inspection action plan

Effective defense is also training employees on what to say during a visit by controllers to the office. We establish one contact person with the office to avoid contradictory testimonies. Most cases we handle end at the explanation stage before the case goes to court. Thanks to this, our clients save on procedural costs, which in disputes over 50,000 PLN can be as much as 4,800 PLN in court fees alone. By the way, the office has the right to ask for extracts from 5 years back, so it's worth having an archive in proper order.
