The article examines in detail the procedures and features of the use of judicial expertise in the process of conducting tax audits by both controlling bodies and taxpayers, and when appealing the results of tax audits.

In case of disagreement with such amount, the taxpayer has the right to appeal within 10 days such tax notification-decision in the administrative order or at any moment within three years from the moment of its issuance – in court.
