MOSCOW, April 13 - RAPSI. The Moscow Commercial Court will hear on April 16 LANIT company's appeal to reverse the tax authority's request for $97.7 million in supplementary taxes.

In April 2011, the Federal Tax Service imposed on LANIT additional tax liabilities amounting to 1.998 billion rubles ($67.23 million) in supplementary profit tax, 230.312 million rubles ($7.79 million) in penalties and a 662.395 ($22.42 million) fine.

The company challenged the decision in November 2011. The court also initiated provisional measures at the plaintiff's request and suspended the execution of the tax authority's decision.

At the same time the court demanded a reciprocal security from the company in the amount of 50-percent of supplementary tax charges later provided by LANIT's companies.

The tax payer has also submitted to the court its cash flow reports for June 1 - August 31, 2011, indicating proceeds at 5.429 billion rubles ($183.6 million).

RAPSI/rapsinews.ru has yet to reach the parties for comments.

LANIT is mostly involved in the systems integration. One of its subsidiaries supplies computers to Moscow schools.
