Latvian entrepreneur successfully reverses SRS decision

SORAINEN assisted the entrepreneur Ārijs Leoke in preparing a challenge to a decision of the State Revenue Service (SRS). The SRS had refused to refund the VAT in a situation where the SRS had detected the service provider's lack of resources to be able to provide the respective services. The SRS Director General revoked SRS’s decision and decided to refund the VAT.

The client commented the work done by the SORAINEN Tax & Customs Team: “I came to the conclusion that it is best to draft a good appeal at the very beginning, so that the case does not go all the way to court. This is what happened here and I am very thankful. I chose SORAINEN because, amongst other things, I was attracted by the firm's many achievements in taxation both in Latvia and in the Baltics. I am very satisfied with the outcome. Even if a positive decision had not have been achieved in the first round, having read the prepared appeal, I knew a positive decision would definitely be obtained in court. It is clear why they are regarded as the best tax consultants.”

In this case, the client was advised by regional head of the SORAINEN Tax & Customs Team, partner Jānis Taukačs, and by associate Alisa Leškoviča.
