Unjustified Tax Benefit and Limits of Taxpayer Diligence
The article is devoted to the balance of public and private interests in the sphere of tax disputes over unjustified benefit. Such balance can be found only if courts unconditionally take into account the presumption of good faith of taxpayers (their independence in making decisions based on commercial interests), which can be disproved only when tax authorities establish the deliberate nature of the taxpayer’s actions aimed at reducing his tax burden.
Keywords: creation of intentional schemes of tax evasion, one-day companies, presumption of good faith of the taxpayer, interdependent persons, risks in the choice of the counterparty, due diligence

Settlements through the Client-Bank Service from One IP Address and Unjustified Tax Benefit: Court Practice Review
Modern technologies allow to use artificial intelligence systems in various areas of public life. In particular, the Internet is rapidly replacing classical ways of doing business with electronic ones, which are characterised by extreme speed and simplicity. For this reason, the tax authorities, participating in court proceedings where their decisions based upon the results of tax control are contested, name using identical IP addresses when paying through the electronic client-bank service as an additional evidence of interdependence (controllability) of the audited persons with their counterparties. Having considered the concept of address in detail, the author investigates in what cases courts acknowledge receiving an unjustified benefit and make decisions in favor of the tax authority.

Dependence of an Insolvency Officer on Resolutions of Meeting of Creditors
Author article points out the tendency of delegation of matters that pertain to the competence of an insolvency officer to meeting of creditors. Meetings of creditors use this situation to oblige insolvency officer to do specific actions fairly often. Effectively meeting of creditors takes the place of insolvency officer. This approach seems objectionable, because bankruptcy becomes a corporate conflict between creditors of debtor and his beneficiaries.
Keywords: bankruptcy (insolvency), obligation of an insolvency officer, meeting of creditors, delimitation of authority
