4-hour response
The first four hours decide the company's fate
An inspection from the tax or customs-tax office always starts at the worst possible moment. Officials appear at the headquarters on Lipowa Street or at your plant without any warning. From the moment they show their IDs, you have very little time to secure data that does not concern the case. Our team in Lublin answers emergency calls throughout the entire business day. We designate a specialist who appears at your location within 240 minutes. Their task is to take over the conversation with the controllers and check if they have the right to request what they are asking for.
At Sarmatia Risk Control, we don't waste time writing long applications when a case is urgent. The first step is always to verify the inspection authorization. It often happens that the range of documents being checked is wider than allowed by the regulations entered in the opening protocol. In 2023, in 14 specific cases, we managed to limit the scope of seized documentation only to those binders that actually concerned the investigated period. This prevents the removal from the company of documents you need for current work and invoicing.
Defense against bank account blocking
The biggest threat during sudden visits by officials is the blocking of funds in the STIR system. The tax office has the right to freeze your money for 72 hours, and then extend it to 3 months without a court verdict. We act quickly to present evidence of the legality of your transactions before the system generates an automatic blocking order. In March 2024, we helped a local construction materials wholesaler unblock 142,800 PLN. The money was seized due to an official's error in interpreting one transfer to a contractor from the Czech Republic. Thanks to quick intervention, the company was able to pay salaries to 12 employees on time.
Our team currently consists of 6 people, and each of them knows administrative procedures inside out. We are not a large corporation, so you will not be transferred between departments. You have a direct number to an expert who takes your case on. Since 2017, we have handled 156 such interventions in the Lublin voivodeship. Most of them were closed at the explanation stage, without the need to write appeals to higher instances or courts. This saves time that you would normally lose on nerves and waiting for letters from the office.
An official is also a person who performs their tasks according to instructions. Our role is to ensure they stick strictly to the regulations and do not abuse their power. If an inspection starts at 9:00 AM, by 1:00 PM our representative is already sitting at your desk and analyzing the first protocols. Such speed of action cools the controllers' enthusiasm for looking for problems where there are none. The end of stress with inspections starts the moment you hand over the conversation to us. Peace in the company is worth more than the risk of fighting the state apparatus alone.
