In the first half of 2026, the court awarded 95% of the disputed amounts to the tax - this is a record of the last 10 years. In the first half of 2026, the share of claims (additional charges, penalties, fines) considered by the courts in favor of tax audits amounted to 95.2% of the total disputed amounts within the judicial work of the tax authorities. This is due to the new data of the Federal Tax Service (FTS), which investigated RBC. Compared to the same period last year, the indicator immediately increased by 13 percentage points, becoming a high record for the period of available statistics (since 2016). In the first half of 2026, the courts considered 2.7 thousand tax disputes. Their number increased by only 2% compared to the corresponding period last year, while the amount of claims that are considered to have increased much more significantly - by 31%, to 170 billion rubles. Out of 170 billion rubles of disputed amounts of about 162 billion (95.2%), the courts ruled in favor of the tax authorities. Taxpayers were able to defend less than 5% of all claims, or 8 billion rubles. The figure of 95.2% was the result of the entire period of available statistics (referred from the page since 2016). In the past, the 90% bar was never raised. Not at the end of the year and a half and not at the end of the year. In the first half of 2026, the courts began to take a more "fiscal" position and in 2% of cases reduced the amount of additional tax charges, decisions made by the tax authorities. At the same time, according to the head of the Federal Tax Service, Daniel Egorov, the number of court disputes involving the tax authorities is decreasing: if in the first half of 2025 inspectors have 3.9 million ongoing claims, then for nine months of 2026 - 60 thousand. The figure of 95.2% of claims issued by the Federal Tax Service is the result of a synergy of several factors, experts surveyed by RBC agree. In particular, it was influenced by tightening the position of the courts, improving the quality of tax control and increasing the effectiveness of pre-trial settlements. Tag: @tvrain.
