Tax dispute practice involving individuals is extremely relevant today. According to current tax legislation, individuals (who do not have the status of sole proprietors) are liable for several taxes, including land tax, real estate tax (other than land plots), personal income tax, military levy, and so on. These types of taxes differ significantly from each other in many respects: taxable object, rates, calculation and payment procedures, exemptions and grounds for non-payment, declaration specifics, etc. Such diversity of taxes and the low level of knowledge regarding tax legislation among individuals often lead to violations of people’s rights by controlling (tax) authorities, resulting in the payment of excessive taxes or the imposition of penalties. Typically, the administrative method of appealing tax authority decisions does not yield the desired result, and thus the only way to protect taxpayers’ rights is to file a lawsuit in an administrative court.
