Vasil Kisil & Partners has a tax team jointly led by Denis Lysenko and Oleksiy Filatov. The firm has been particularly active in tax controversy recently and Andrey Stelmashchuk is identified for his strength as a tax litigator by competitors. The firm this year represented a multinational steel and commodities trader in several disputes with the Ukrainian tax authorities. The VAT and corporate tax charges on the group's operations in Ukraine and the application of the non-discrimination provisions in the double taxation avoidance treaty with the US were the key issues in the dispute. The firm also successfully represented a Ukrainian pharmaceutical company disputing import and customs charges levied by the customs authorities. The customs authorities appealed the decision, but the appeal court ruled in favour of the tax payer.
